$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Clematis virginiana, commonly known as Virgin's Bower, is a vigorous, deciduous vine that produces a profusion of small, fragrant white flowers. Blooming from late spring into early summer, the star-shaped flowers appear in clusters, creating a delicate, airy display. The blooms are often followed by attractive, fluffy seed heads that add ornamental interest as they persist into the cooler months.

Native to North America, Clematis virginiana is commonly found in woodlands, along stream banks, and in hedgerows. Its rapid growth and ability to climb make it ideal for covering trellises, fences, or natural landscapes. This vine is valued for its ability to attract pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, adding to its appeal in naturalistic and wildlife-friendly gardens.
