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.
