Clematis serratifolia

Clematis serratifolia

Family ranunculaceae

Life cycle perennial vine

Flowers yellow (July-Oct)

Size to 9'

Light

Seed ripens early October

Late-blooming clematis species from China. Our plants started blooming in August of their third year. The flowers are small compared to those of hybrid clematis, but there are many of them to enjoy, and the buds look cool, too. The long, undivided leaves are, as the species name indicates, serrated at the edges. Not long after the flowers start opening, the silvery-hairy seedheads come along - much like other clematis, always appreciated.

The mass of seedheads is impressive by late August...

...turning into fluffy silver beards by late September.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: back yard, orchard nursery area
