Clematis Virgin's Bower
Clematis virginiana
Virgin's Bower is an Ontario native vine that produces an abundance of small, slightly fragrant, white flowers from late summer into the fall. It can be grown on a trellis or other support, or be left to grow as a groundcover. The blooms are extremely attractive to pollinators, including bees, hummingbirds, wasps and butterflies. The dense foliage also provides nesting sites for songbirds, and small mammals and birds eat the seeds in winter.
It's a fast grower and can spread aggressively by self-seeding and suckering.
Virgin's Bower does best in full to part sun with consistent moisture and well-drained soil. It is quite shade-tolerant, but flowering may be reduced.
Seasonal Availability: Typically May to July, depending on suppliers availability.
