Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles' is a 1989 selection by British breeder Raymond Evison; its name comes from the nickname 'Freckles' given to the breeder's daughter, Rebecca. The nodding, 5–6 cm flowers are creamy white to soft pink outside and creamy white inside, marked with striking maroon speckles and greenish-yellow stamens, with a light fragrance.
Growing to around 250 cm, 'Freckles' suits sunny, sheltered trellises, pergolas and arches, and its evergreen, fern-like foliage will also happily scramble over small trees. Its main flowering runs from October to April – a real eye-catcher in the quiet season – and the foliage turns bronze in winter.
'Freckles' is reliably hardy (zone 9, -6.6 to -1.2 °C) and holds the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Cut it back to about 100 cm in May after the main flush to encourage strong new growth; where space allows, pruning is not strictly necessary.
