Clematis Early Sensation

Description

Clematis ‘Early Sensation’ is an exquisite evergreen clematis, known for its profuse display of large, creamy-white flowers that appear in early spring, well before many other clematis varieties begin to bloom. Its finely divided, dark green foliage remains attractive year-round, making it an excellent choice for providing structure and greenery in the garden. The lightly fragrant flowers, with their distinctive lime-green centers, create a fresh and delicate look, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Hardy in USDA zones 7-9, Early Sensation thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with regular watering. Growing to a manageable height of 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters), it is ideal for training over trellises, pergolas, and fences or growing in large containers. Unlike deciduous clematis, this evergreen variety requires minimal pruning and maintenance, making it a perfect choice for year-round garden interest. Whether used as a climbing feature, a cascading ground cover, or an accent in patio containers, Clematis ‘Early Sensation’ brings a touch of elegance and freshness to any outdoor space.
