Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	Virginia. Given good drainage and adequate sunlight, Clematis coactilis develops into a fascinating, clumping, herbaceous perennial. The white, sometimes greenish, 4-sepaled flowers are solitary and nodding. They are urn-shaped and covered with fine hairs. The large arrowhead-shaped leaves are also covered with fine hairs on their undersides as are the flower and leaf stems. You almost want to pet this perennial! Grow it in a rockery or in any sunny border that has good drainage. It is erect and never floppy so it retains its character even after the flowers have given way to silvery seadheads. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. Late spring to early summer. 16-18 in. x 12 in. White flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 7, 8, 9*
Because this is herbaceous, cut it back at the end of winter as you would other perennials.
