Clematis 'Early Sensation'
Fast delivery and beautiful healthy plant. I planted it last autumn and already have a few flowers. It's a delight. Can't wait for this clematis to cover its entire support.

Description
Clematis 'Early Sensation' is an unusual bush that remains beautiful all year round. However, it is slightly frost-sensitive. It belongs to a group of hybrids resulting from the cross-breeding of several New Zealand species. This climbing perennial stands out with its beautiful evergreen foliage, finely cut like parsley, and abundant and early flowering, starting from the beginning of spring. Its medium-sized flowers resemble white daisies with fresh green hearts. They give way to a beautiful silky and silvery fruit that persists on the plant for a long time. Grow this unique little climber in open ground in a mild oceanic climate. It will also add a very personal touch to a patio, planted in a beautiful container where it will happily cascade during summer.
The genus Clematis belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. 'Early Sensation' is a horticultural variety belonging to the cartmanii hybrids group. These plants are the result of the cross-breeding of different botanical species native to New Zealand, such as Clematis indivisa, better known as C. paniculata, or C. forsteri. It is an evergreen climbing plant with a perennial stump and voluble stems. It is classified in the group of clematis that flower early in the season on one-year-old shoots. It is a little slow to establish, but will eventually form a bushy clump that can reach 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft) in all directions, with a rapid growth rate. The flowering begins in March-April, depending on the climate, and lasts several weeks. The flowers, gathered in long clusters, measure 7 to 8cm (3in) in diameter. Their shape resembles that of daisies, but they have only 6 petals, which are initially a greenish-white colour that turns pure white with a vanilla heart. The pistachio-green centre of the corolla is occupied by green stamens with white anthers. The flowering is followed by the formation of silvery, silky, feathery fruits in decorative spirals. The evergreen foliage is composed of thick-textured leaves, 9 to 12cm (4 to 5in) long. They are curiously and finely cut, in a bright and shiny green.
Clematis 'Early Sensation' is sensitive to severe frost and excessively dry soils. They can climb up to 3m (10ft), but they are much more beautiful when allowed to weave through neighbouring plants or wander on low shrubs, dwarf conifers, boxwoods, and myrtles. They are also excellent plants for a patio or balcony in cold regions. Let them cascade from a large container, where the foliage, flowers, and fruits will offer a magnificent spectacle throughout the entire summer season. During winter, store the pots in a sheltered location, such as a slightly heated veranda.

Planting and care
This variety of climbing plant requires a mild climate, moist soil, and a very sunny exposure to fully thrive. Its hardiness does not exceed -10°C (14°F) in the open ground, in a protected location. It prefers light, humus-bearing soil that is low in limestone. The soil must be well-drained but not too dry. Mulch the plant with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Cover the base of the climbing plants with a 3cm (1in) mound of soil or another plant like a ground cover or a perennial geranium. This is a plant that likes to keep its roots cool. Water heavily and regularly in the first few weeks. Clematis may wilt in overly moist soil.
It does not require specific pruning due to its slow growth and early flowering.
Clematis cling on their own thanks to their tendrils. To promote their growth, provide them with a trellis support or let them dress the trunk of a tree by placing a wire mesh against the trunk for the clematis to climb on. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants.
Voles and grey worms devour young shoots. Aphids can also attack young plants. Watch out for whiteflies if planted in a greenhouse.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
