Clematis cirrhosa
vineverifiedReviewed by the GreenScout Team
An evergreen clematis native to southern Europe, prized for its delicate cream or pale pink flowers that bloom in winter and early spring when few other vines flower. The feathery foliage and tendrils remain attractive year-round, and finely textured seed heads follow the blooms. It grows 8–12 feet and thrives in milder climates.
