Clematis montana, the mountain clematis, also Himalayan clematis or anemone clematis, is a flowering vine in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.
A vigorous deciduous climber, in late spring it is covered with a mass of small blooms for a period of about four weeks. The odorous flowers are white or pink, four-petalled, with prominent yellow anthers. It is native to mountain areas of Asia from Afghanistan to Taiwan.
Montana Grandiflora is one of few montanas that are actually white and perfumed, attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators.
Clematis montana Grandiflora is a popular garden plant in temperate regions, with the ability to scramble up and over unsightly features such as sheds and fences.
The Grandiflora Montana Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Heavy clay soil should be amended to ensure good drainage.
Grandiflora Montana is pruning group 1 clematis which flowers on last year's wood and therefore should not be cut down to near ground level (especially montanas, armandii, chrysocoma and gracilifolia which can be killed by hard pruning).
They should be pruned as soon as possible after they finish flowering. Avoid pruning them after the end of July, so they have time to produce next year's flower buds before winter sets in.
Group 1 clkematisses should be lightly pruned to remove all dead and wispy growth. Additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old wood to reduce the bulk of the plant.
