Clematis virginiana

Common Name: Virgin's Bower

Virgin’s Bower is a vigorous, woody vine that can climb 6 to 20 feet, often found in moist woodlands, thickets, and streambanks. It blooms profusely in late summer with clusters of small, white flowers followed by distinctive feathery seed heads. It provides cover and nesting habitat for wildlife. In landscapes, it can be used on trellises, fences, or allowed to sprawl in naturalized plantings.

Planting Information

Dig a hole in your planting site slightly larger than the plant’s root system. When placing the plant into the hole, ensure that the soil line remains consistent with its original level in the pot. Fill in around the roots with the excavated soil, gently firming it to eliminate air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly the same day to promote successful establishment.
