Introduce a touch of nature's elegance to your garden with Clematis virginiana, also known as Virgin's Bower or Devil's Darning Needles. Native to the central and eastern United States and Canada, this hardy perennial vine, belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil. With a preference for partial sun, it’s among the rare vines that flourish even in deep shade. Rapidly reaching heights of 15-20 feet, its clinging leaf stalks effortlessly scale trellises, fences, or any supporting structure. Delight in a spectacular display of fragrant white blooms from mid to late summer, a visual symphony that extends for nearly a month, drawing the attention of pollinators, including hummingbirds and bees. Unlike its more aggressive Asian counterpart, Sweet Autumn Clematis, Virgin's Bower boasts distinctive jagged-edged leaves. Low-maintenance and less prone to damage from deer and rabbits, this versatile vine is ideal for woodland, native, or pollinator gardens. Caution: while a host for the Clematis Clearwing Moth, its foliage is toxic to mammals.
