This fall flowering clematis has fragrant, cream-white flowers in late summer through early fall (flowers are 1.25" in diameter).
This is the ideal substitute for the invasive Clematis ternifolia (sweet autumn clematis) introduced from Japan. The native and invasive species look very similar, but there is a simple way to distinguish them - the native clematis has teeth on its leaves, while the Japanese clematis has no teeth (and the leaves are more leathery).
Virgin's bower is a vigorous climber and grows quite quickly. Another common name is Devil's Darning Needles.
Looks best growing on bigger trellises, arbors, or posts, and in woodland and pollinator gardens. It requires some room; if it crawls to a smaller or medium-sized shrub, check on it to make sure Clematis virginiana doesn't overwhelm it.

Clematis virginiana - VIRGIN'S BOWER
Will raise rating once these take hold. Just planted! and eager for the results. Replacing Autumnal Clematis non native which gave up the ghost after several stunning years. These Plants arrived Healthy, though not large, in ground within a week. Looking to have local fly-bys enjoy this Native!
