A vigorous, early-spring climber with clean white blooms that flood pergolas and trellises.

Clematis montana ‘Alba’ is a robust deciduous climber renowned for its masses of white, mildly vanilla-scented star-flowers in late spring. Its foliage is mid-green and lush, turning with age to cover large supports in a cascade of blooms, then producing soft seedheads for summer texture. Fast-growing and hardy, it’s perfect for walls, fences, large trellises, or letting roam through trees where its natural vigour can shine.

Key features:

• Profuse display of white, star-shaped flowers in late spring (May–June)

• Mild vanilla scent adds sensory delight to bloom period

• Vigorous growth habit, capable of reaching large heights

• Deciduous foliage with attractive three-leaflet leaves, supporting seedhead interest
