Clematis cartmanii ' Early Sensation' features waxy, evergreen foliage which contrasts superbly with the upturned white flowers, with their soft apple-green bases & yellow-green stamens, which appear between February & April. Later, magnificent seedheads are formed, lasting throughout the year & certainly helping this variety to live up to its common name of Old Man's Beard. This beautiful hardy climber is perfect for those looking to extend the season of interest in their garden as it flowers early in the year when there is little else to be found. Clematis ' Early Sensation' will happily grow up a sunny, sheltered wall & is the perfect choice for your patio or even conservatory. This non-clinging climber will happily ascend the vertical posts of a garden obelisk or pergola.
