Clematis pitcheri (Pitcher's Leather Flower)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9, at least 72" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! Clematis pitcheri is a little-known but fabulous native, ranging from Iowa south to Texas. The scrambling 6' tall vine with opposite trifoliate leaves mingles unobtrusively like an accountant at an eyewear convention. We have ours growing through a michellia, and you don't even notice it is there until it begins to flower. The dainty, pendent, purple bell-shaped flowers with recurved tips adorn the vine from mid-May through September...simply delightful. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
