About
the Clematis - Henryi :
The Clematis ‘Henryi’, Lanuginosa
X group, has white flowers with
brown anthers that bloom in June and
September and range in height of
10-12’ and a spread of 3’. The red
flowers are approximately 6-8” wide.
Clematis ‘Henryi’ was a winner of
the Royal Horticultural Society's
Award of Garden Merit and one can
see why. The foliage is dark green
and makes a great contrast with the
flower color. Clematis prefers full
sun but will tolerate shade in the
morning in a well-drained area.
It is best to avoid heavy pruning
on this perennial until it is fully
established. Clematis ‘Henryi’ needs
a supporting structure to grow
properly but will also grow over
large shrubs. The tops of Clematis
prefer full sun while their roots
prefer a cool, shady area. It is
best to heavily mulch the root zone
to provide this cool, shady area
