Clematis Veronica’s Choice - 20cm Pot

Clematis ‘Veronica’s Choice’ is a beautiful deciduous climbing vine admired for its large, ruffled white flowers and vigorous growth habit. Its elegant blooms create a soft, delicate display against fresh green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding colour and vertical interest to the garden.

Producing flowers approximately 15–20cm across, ‘Veronica’s Choice’ features impressive white blooms with gently ruffled petals that give the flowers a full, decorative appearance.

Flowering from spring through to autumn, this attractive Clematis provides an extended season of colour under suitable growing conditions. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it particularly well suited to trellises, archways, fences and other garden structures.

Growing up to 3 metres high, ‘Veronica’s Choice’ works beautifully in cottage-style gardens, mixed borders and alongside other climbing plants. Its white flowers complement almost any garden colour scheme, particularly when paired with pink, purple and blue flowering varieties.

As a deciduous climber, ‘Veronica’s Choice’ loses its foliage during winter before producing fresh growth and flowers as the weather warms.

Mature size: approximately 2.4–3 metres high, with spread depending on the support and growing conditions.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade, ideally in a position receiving morning sunlight with protection from harsh afternoon sun. In Melbourne gardens, some afternoon shade can help protect the large flowers during hot summer weather.

Clematis ‘Veronica’s Choice’ prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep the roots cool by applying mulch around the base or planting low-growing companion plants nearby.

Water regularly during establishment and maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the warmer months, particularly while the plant is actively growing and flowering.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

Pruning Group 2: Clematis ‘Veronica’s Choice’ flowers on both previous season's growth and new growth. Lightly prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or damaged stems and trimming remaining growth back to strong, healthy buds.

Avoid hard pruning, as this can reduce the early flowering display. A light trim after the first flush of flowers may encourage further flowering later in the season.

Provide a sturdy trellis, climbing frame or other suitable support for its vigorous growth. Clematis climbs by wrapping its leaf stalks around slender supports, so fine trellis or garden wire attached to a strong structure is particularly useful.
