If I only give 4 Stars, it's because for the first time with Promesse de Fleurs, I received the package, admittedly on time as usual, but upon opening it, I noticed that it had been mishandled during transport, probably a fall. The clematis was completely out of its pot, but it doesn't seem to have suffered too much, so I planted it immediately. The plant is sturdy, so I am hopeful. I will keep an eye on it and will contact Promesse de Fleurs if there are any issues. (I have already grown this clematis which lived for 10 years and suddenly disappeared? It should be easy to grow and have a significant growth. I hope this one will give me as much satisfaction).

Description

Clematis 'Trichotoma' is a very floriferous clematis with white flowers with long stamens that bloom from June to September. It is one of the hardiest varieties.

 

This robust, 5m (16ft) tall climber bears beautiful 5-branched white stars with prominent stamens of the same colour, 3 cm (1in) in diameter, in paniculate panicles. Its deciduous oval, medium green, 8cm (3in) long leaves are carried by twisting stems that twine around their support with tendrils.

Clematis 'Trichotoma' is hardy and likes light, well-worked, deep, moist, and fertile soil, in a sunny position with the base in shade. Plant ground cover plants to help achieve this.

Clematis 'Trichotoma' dresses walls, fences and trellises perfectly and can elegantly cover the trunk of a tree.

Tips: Avoid excessive fertiliser application that can stimulate foliage at the expense of flowers. Do not mulch to prevent excessive moisture that promotes clematis wilt.

Planting and care

Clematis 'Trichotoma' is best planted in spring or autumn 5cm (2in) deep, with the root ball placed flat on the ground rather than vertically as usual and its head in the sun and foot in the shade. Cover the base with a small mound of soil to encourage new shoots. After planting, prune the stems to 30cm (12in) from the base, above a pair of buds. Train them loosely to help the plant attach itself later on. In February, prune every other branch to 20cm (8in) from the ground, every year.
