Introducing Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica, also known as Leatherleaf Clematis, Manshurian Clematis, or Yam-leaved Clematis. This stunning plant is a perennial climber that can reach up to 7 ft in height and blooms from September to October with lovely white flowers. It prefers well-drained soil and can grow in sandy, loamy, and clay soils with different pH levels from acidic to alkaline. If given support, it can climb up to 20-25 feet tall, but if left to grow on the ground, it spreads out as a dense ground cover that suppresses weeds. The shiny green leaves with oval to elliptic leaflets add to its beauty. This plant has many medicinal uses as an antiscrofulatic, antidote, and ophthalmic treatment for corneal opacities. Add this beautiful Clematis to your garden for its stunning flowers and versatile climbing abilities.
