Plant Profile: Clematis cirrhosa

The Winter Flowering Clematis is a graceful evergreen vine that blooms in December and can reach heights of up to 20 feet. When paired with other Clematis varieties that flower at various times, you can enjoy a continuous display of blooms throughout the year in your garden. This vine is not overly invasive and thrives when allowed to climb over a deciduous shrub, providing winter flowers on the shrub itself. To keep the plant healthy and vigorous, prune it back in early spring after its flowering period concludes.
