The viorna group Clematis are superb native plants. They pose no pruning dilemma - all dying to the ground each winter, have no wilt problems, attract hummingbirds, and can be tucked into small gardens as well as large. A few make great trough plants. Some are fragrant. All have attractive seed heads which give extended interest in the garden. About half of the species are small, non-climbing herbaceous plants while the remaining are vines. I am indebted to all who helped with the site by use of photos and information.
Special thanks to Bjornar Olsen, without whom this site would never have materialized. His plant knowledge and technical and computer skills are truly exceptional! Clematisviorna.info promotes the appreciation of North American viorna group Clematis species and envisions these superb native plants thriving in botanic gardens, arboreta, and enhancing landscapes with features like Artificial Grass Doncaster. |
