Clematis ‘Madame Le Coultre’ is a timeless large-flowered variety appreciated for its pure colouring and refined garden presence. It brings brightness and elegance to trellises, pergolas, fences, and arches, adding a luminous touch to vertical spaces.

This variety produces large creamy white flowers with a soft, radiant appearance, often accented by pale yellow stamens at the centre. Flowering typically occurs in two waves, beginning in late spring to early summer and followed by a second display in late summer.

‘Madame Le Coultre’ grows as a vigorous climber, reaching approximately 2 to 3 metres once established. It climbs naturally by wrapping its leaf stalks around supports, making it suitable for training on garden structures or weaving gently through shrubs.

For best results, plant in full sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil that remains evenly moist. As with most clematis, it benefits from cool roots and sunlit upper growth. Mulching around the base or adding low-growing companion plants helps maintain favourable root conditions.

This clematis flowers mainly on older wood, so pruning should be light. Remove dead or weak stems and shape gently rather than cutting back severely.

For a clean, graceful display with dependable flowering year after year, ‘Madame Le Coultre’ remains a distinguished and enduring garden favourite.
