Clematis paniculata (Native Clematis) Details

Clematis paniculata is a fabulous NZ native climber which is grown for its foliage and flowers. It features large and leathery, glossy, dark green leaves which serve as a lovely backdrop to the showy flowers in spring. The white flowers are fragrant and literally transform this plant into a picture of beauty. This evergreen typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, but can be trimmed as necessary. It grows best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of light frost and coastal environments. This Clematis is commonly grown on fences, trellises, or over arches and is particularly well suited to cottage and “white” gardens or for planting around an outdoor living area.
