Clematis Guernsey Flute™

Clematis Guernsey Flute™ offers a refined vertical accent with star-shaped white blooms accented by deep red anthers. Blooming profusely in late spring and again in late summer, this compact climbing perennial reaches 5 feet high and 3 feet wide, ideal for small-space gardening. Its pristine flowers remain flat and prominent against green foliage, adding clarity and contrast to trellises, fences, containers, and mailboxes. Named for its elegantly flute-shaped buds, this variety combines ornamental beauty with practical versatility.

Perfect for use in containers, patio gardens, and narrow borders, Guernsey Flute™ suits gardeners looking to integrate vertical interest without overwhelming the space. It blends well with flowering shrubs such as roses, hydrangeas, or viburnum and provides an excellent floral backdrop or companion in layered plantings. Its tidy habit and repeat flowering make it a choice addition to both formal and informal designs.

This clematis thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. As part of pruning group 2, it blooms on both old and new wood—first in late spring and again in late summer. Light pruning in early spring and after the first flush helps maintain shape and encourage reblooming. Developed by renowned breeder Raymond Evison, Clematis Guernsey Flute™ delivers reliable color, compact form, and long-lasting seasonal appeal.
