Fern-Leaved Clematis

Fern-Leaved Clematis Overview

Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica is an evergreen climber, commonly grown for its semi-fragrant creamy flowers that are spotted inside with purple. These measure around 6cm in width, appear in late winter and early spring and are succeeded by fluffy seedheads. Foliage is very fine, coloured dark green and the leaves display attractive colouration, changing to bronze-purple shades in winter. This species is part of the Royal Horticultural Society “Plants for Pollinators” initiative to showcase plants which support pollinator populations by providing ample amounts of nectar and/ or pollen. A great choice for pollinating insect wildlife.
