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.
