Enjoy the stunning beauty of a clematis in a shady corner of your yard with the Silver Moon Clematis. Most plants in this genus require full sunlight, but this variety is better suited to lower light levels, allowing the plant to live in areas unsuitable for most varieties of clematis. The impressive flowers measure a staggering 6 to 7 inches wide. The textured petals are silvery-white with soft pink margins. The petals slightly overlap, giving the showy flowers a full look, and surround creamy yellow anthers. The Silver Moon Clematis is a prolific bloomer from June through July and reblooms in late August. Unassuming green foliage fills in the reaching vines, creating a dense appearance.
This clematis is a climbing plant that needs an arbor or trellis. The twining vines can easily be trained to grow on a support and will quickly engulf a structure. Use the Silver Moon Clematis to conceal a fence and increase privacy or transform the wall of a shed or other building into a showy focal point. Grow this plant in a container to enjoy the large flowers up close on a deck or patio. The flowers are pollinator friendly and attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Silver Moon Clematis Care
For best results, choose a planting site that receives full to part shade for the Silver Moon Clematis. The ideal soil will be rich, moist, and well drained, and have a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Established plants need about one inch of water weekly and potentially more during a dry period. Clematis plants are heavy feeders, so fertilize roughly every four weeks during the growing season.
Follow group 2 pruning guidelines for the Silver Moon Clematis. Prune in late winter or early spring and again after the flowers fade.
Silver Moon Clematis Spacing
Silver Moon Clematis reaches 8 to 9 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Space plants 2 feet apart, center on center, to create a dense wall of reaching vines. Grow one plant in a 16-inch wide container.
