Clematis snowflake is a vigorously growing vine. It has flower that are 1 cm all around. They smell like the breath of heaven, a very mild but beautiful perfume. This vine has struggled against the harsh summers and dry heat here for more than a year.
Now that the weather is much cooler the plant has begun to bloom. Well I should say it is blooming abundantly and making my neighbor envious. He just remarked to me that I don’t just have a green thumb but I also have golden hands . LOL that made me laugh. I promised him a strong rooted plant in spring.
I had read a lot before I placed this plant on my west side balcony, however I guess that all those articles were never written for hot tropics like ours. I have toyed with the idea of shifting the container to another spot but the task seemed almost impossible. The container is huge and it would also mean cutting this huge vine back so drastically. I didn’t have the heart to do it but kept it well watered and fed.
I am a happy gardener now, because this plant has survived and thrived to bear abundant blooms. All my efforts to save this vine has borne fruits and what more could a gardener ask.

i do not have any good advice but I do love the picture you’ve shared!
Thanks Doc. I have been struggling to find my notification and answer to the comments. Besides except for the first two pages. or should I rather say the last two pages of posts nothing else shows.
I am sure I have seen this somewhere but not remember
Actually the blooms don’t stand out, it is possible that you have seen and forgotten.
We have a creeper that givest out strong scented flowers that look somwhat like what you have uploaded. We just water them and that’s it
‘Strong scented’ is not the word I would use. I would like to see a picture of your creeper if you’d be uploading it any time.
I will certainly do a post on it once the flowers show up
Thanks Grace, I’ll wait for it.
Such gorgeous flowers!
They are small but they smell heavenly.
I believe my neighbor has these in her garden.
Oh wow, I wish I could ask her for some tips. 🙂
