Guernsey Flute™ Clematis (Clematis ‘EviGsy153’) illuminates the garden with large, pure white, star-shaped flowers graced by subtle red anthers. Blooming from late spring well into early autumn, it delights with a unique champagne flute-like bud stage that gradually unfolds into a broad, showy blossom. Reaching a petite 3–4 feet tall, this vine is a perfect choice for small gardens, containers, or the front of a mixed border. Its prolonged blooming period and easygoing nature make it a standout among white Clematis varieties.
The elegant blooms retain their crisp color even in partial shade, where the plant happily thrives. Bred by the renowned Raymond Evison, Guernsey Flute™ combines compact form with reliable flowering, allowing it to shine on a simple tuteur or trellis. This Clematis is also known for its deer resistance, reducing the stress of damage in wildlife-prone areas. Enjoy it as a companion for colorful annuals in patio planters or as a welcoming accent near entryways.
Guernsey Flute™ Clematis Care
Plant in moist, well-draining soil, positioning the crown 2–4 inches below ground level to protect dormant buds. A neutral to slightly alkaline pH often works best, and consistent watering encourages the deep roots to establish. Provide at least four hours of daily sun, but offer some afternoon shade in warmer regions. Feeding with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in spring helps maintain steady growth and generous flowering.
Light pruning in early spring (Pruning Group 2) shapes the vine and removes weak or damaged stems. Deadhead spent blooms to stimulate additional bud formation. Container-grown Clematis may need extra watering during hot spells, and a layer of mulch or companion plants keeps roots cool. In climates with freezing winters, consider adding a protective mulch layer around the base.
Guernsey Flute™ Clematis Spacing
Allow roughly 2 to 3 feet between plants when creating a screen or grouping, ensuring good airflow and room for each vine. For single-specimen accents, give the vine enough open space to spread naturally on its support. In containers, opt for a pot at least 12 to 14 inches in diameter to accommodate the root system and the vine’s upward growth.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
