Clematis occidentalis var. grosseserrata (Western blue virginsbower)

Description

Why choose native plants? Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!

Hanging, bell-like flowers and silvery puffs of feathery fruit make this plant a delight to find in the woods. Blooms range in color from pink to purple to violet and appear from May – July. Originally found in wooded or brushy areas in mountains, often on steep rocky slopes. Vine can reach 8 feet long.
