(24-36" tall x 24-36" wide) A superb shrub clematis, Mongolian Snowflakes (Clematis hexapetala) covers itself with a cloud of 2-inch ivory colored flowers for several months beginning in late spring. The flowers are followed by showy, shiny feathery seed clusters, which persist for many weeks. Unlike other clematis that have difficult-to-understand pruning regimes, you simply cut the plant to the ground in early to mid-spring, after which the plants grow vigorously to come into flower by late spring. Grows well in a variety of soil types and is xeric once established. Introduced to horticulture by the late, great prairie nurseryman, Harlan Hamernik who discovered the plant in Mongolia during one of his expeditions to that country. Good companion plants include Chamaebatiaria (Fernbush), Achnatherum calamagrostis (Silver Spike Grass) and blue European Salvia (Meadow Sage). Suitable to elevations up to 5200 feet. Introduced by Plant Select® – waterwise, garden-tested plants proven to thrive in the high plains and intermountain west for more beauty, with less work.

"This is a lovely plant that can add a bright white flash to your flower garden. It's dark green foliage is attractive and might be used as a spiller in floral arrangements. It is hardy in my zone 4. 5 garden. . I even dug up half the plant accidentally (,, don't ask!) and it didn't phase the plant one bit. I am happy to find it has produced flowering seedlings for me! It's a keeper"
"After a few years of drought and a late frost where I lost a lot of my landscape, I am trying to find plants that will thrive in the heat. Looks good so far."
"Yes, it's slow growing, but worth it. In my case, 3-4"" year 1, to 8"" in year 2, and now in year 3 it's 12"" and flowering for really the 1st time. It's in a large container on the patio in front of a pillar; very attractive. I use garden velcro to keep the branches upright. Gets afternoon sun."
"This Clematis has been a lovely addition to my garden for the past 20 years. Over this time it has seeded three other plants which are just as beautiful. It is never without interest in the garden from the attractive leaves to the copious white flowers, followed by interesting seed heads. Despite it seeding a few babies over time I have never gotten any of the seeds to sprout myself. However at one time I tried to move my original plant. It was like digging up a tree. The roots are significant which is probably why it can handle some drought. I pulled out in three chunks and was worried I was going to loose it but every piece survived and within a year the roots I had left out of necessity resprouted. This is a tough plant."
