| History | A seedling selected in 1992 from a cross-made at Blackthorn Nursery, England by renowned plantsman Robin White. A hybrid between Clematis paniculata and Clematis marmoraria-both evergreen species native to New Zealand. An Avalanche of pure white flowers cascade from previous season's wood in spring providing a superb contrast with the pinked edge dark leathery green foliage. This beautiful vine is equally content climbing on a wall or rambling along the garden floor. |
| Lore | In its homeland of New Zealand, this plants ancestor, C. marmoraria is an evergreen rock hugging crevice plant with little resemblance to the resulting cultivar. |
