Overview
Clematis 'Mme Le Coultre' is a classic large-flowered clematis, prized for its elegant pure white blooms and long flowering season. The impressive flowers appear in abundance from late spring to early summer and are often followed by a lighter second display in late summer, bringing brightness to walls, arches and garden structures. Its refined colour makes it easy to combine with roses, shrubs and other climbers, while the large blooms stand out beautifully against fresh green foliage. Whether grown on a trellis, pergola or obelisk, this variety adds height and a timeless elegance to the garden.
Why We Love It
Large, pure white flowers brighten even partially shaded areas. Long flowering season with the potential for a second flush. Elegant colour pairs beautifully with almost any planting scheme. A reliable climber for adding height without overwhelming its support.

Growing Guide
| Position | Grow in full sun or partial shade. Like most clematis, it performs best when the foliage is in the light while the roots remain cool and shaded by mulch or neighbouring plants. |
|---|---|
| Soil | Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid sites that become waterlogged during winter. |
| Watering | Water regularly while establishing and during extended dry spells, particularly if grown in a container. |
| Pruning | As a Group 2 clematis, prune lightly in late winter or early spring by removing dead or weak stems and cutting back to a pair of healthy buds. A light tidy after the first flush of flowers can encourage a second display later in the season. |
