Avalanche Evergreen Clematis – 2 Gallon Pot

---

---

Caution: This plant is toxic to dogs if eaten. 

You’ve never seen such an incredible profusion of pure white flowers cover a clematis vine like this one! Among the cartmanii Clematis, Avalanche has both the largest flowers and leaves. When this one isn’t blooming the lustrous deep green trifoliate foliage is there to impress throughout the rest of the year. Avalanche can be grown in a pot or in the ground. As a climber it is perfectly suited for trellises, pergolas, arbors, fences, posts and others structures that will support the vine. It is also stunning when cascading over flowing down an embankment like an avalanche of snow!

Avalanche is a cross hybrid between Clematis paniculata and Clematis marmoraria, which are both evergreen species native to New Zealand.

Clematis in pruning Group 1 flower on the previous years growth and therefore should not be cut back to ground level. If you prune, do so as soon as possible after flowering. Avoid pruning after the end of July so the plant has time to produce next year’s flower buds before winter sets in. To reduce bulk of older plants, additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old wood. Make pruning cuts above a pair of healthy buds.
