Description: Vibrant blue blooms in late summer become showy seed heads. This vine will climb a tree or trellis and can also be used as an attractive ground cover when left to creep across the ground. Clematis will tolerate more sun as long as the crown of the plant is kept cool.

Found in Nature: Shady, moist wooded sites and rocky sheltered embankments.

Distribution: Foothills to Montane
