Discover the enchanting Clematis serratifolia, commonly known as Korean Clematis or Yellow Clematis, a stunning perennial vine in the Ranunculaceae family. Native to the Russian Far East, Manchuria, and the Korean Peninsula, this late-blooming clematis species brings a touch of nature’s elegance to your garden from late summer to autumn. Reaching heights of 9 to 13 feet, it thrives in sun to part shade and is adaptable to both calcareous and acidic soils, making it an ideal choice for courtyards, walls, and borders.
Admire its clusters of soft yellow, lemon-scented flowers with dark stamens, contrasted beautifully by its serrated, undivided leaves.

With its ornamental appeal and citrus-like fragrance, Clematis serratifolia transforms any space into a serene retreat, inviting you to enjoy the layered beauty of nature.
