Clematis cirrhosa 'Jingle Bells'
- Aptly named given the bell-shaped nature of its flowers, this clematis produces stunning cream-coloured blooms in winter and early spring
- This climber's evergreen foliage offers a fantastic visual contrast to the pale flowers, and looks lovely when densely clothing a surface
- With a highly vigorous climbing habit, this clematis is perfect for training up vertical structures like walls or fences
- Certified by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, 'Jingle Bells' is highly attractive to bees and butterflies
- Pruning group 1 - an early flowering variety of clematis that doesn't require any regular pruning
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
