here is guernsey cream. it really blooms, from year two or three...magnicficant blooms that open with a pistachio color, and fade to white, then cream. long lasting flower.
i have several mature displays of guernsey cream, and traditionally i did not prune it al all, viewing the early bloom period (old wood). however, based on the nudge of debbie (silver star vinery) , this year i hard pruned one of the plantings and , it did indeed bloom again. this photo shows the variation of color from start to later in the flowers.
this is a low maintenence clematis that rarely suffers form wilt or other forms of stress, even with little care.
