The flowers open from soft-mauve buds into 6 to 8 inch diameter flowers with 6 to 8 pointed white petals. The petals are often flushed with soft-pink having soft green bars.

Growing Preferences
The Snow Queen Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours direct sunlight per day for best flowering and overall performance. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather.
Clematis Pruning Group 2
Clematis Pruning Group 2
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.
