Flowering in winter, Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica bears fragrant, cream flowers freckled with reddish-brown spots, which hang among ferny leaves. Flowers are followed by whiskery seedheads. It's an excellent source of nectar for winter-active bumblebees, and makes a good cut flower.
Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica in moist but well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideally up a pergola, doorway or arch, where you can fully appreciate its blooms. Frost hardy, it may not survive severe winters.
Like all early-flowering clematis, Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica falls into Pruning Group One. It requires little pruning other than the removal of any dead or damaged growth after flowering.
