I bought this Clematis last year as an unknown - the gentleman selling said it was a white large flowered early flowering clematis. It has not flowered yet any ideas what it is?
If it's a montana it will be vigorous once planted properly but can be controlled by pruning - after flowering which happens in early to mid spring. Bit cramped and hungry in that pot so no wonder it hasn't flowered.
They like their roots in deeper than they were in the pot and they need good soil so plenty of well rotted manure and compost in the planting hole and generous watering till established.

Depends whether the chap selling it was reputable or not ... i.e. a reasonable nurseryman selling stuff that's lost it's label, or a shyster knowingly passing off a wild clematis from the hedgerow as a cultivated one ..... I wouldn't describe C. vitalba as 'large flowered' so if he's considered trustworthy I'd go with the montana grandiflora ... the leaves look very like mine.
