Virgin's Bower and other insects when fewVirgin's Bower Clematis Virginiana is a vigorous perennial native vine known for its delicate beauty and rapid growth. This deciduous climber features clusters of small, star shaped white flowers that bloom in late summer, followed by silky, plume like seed heads that add texture and interest into fall. Its opposite, toothed leaves create a lush green backdrop, making it an elegant choice for trellises, fences, or to naturalize along woodland edges.
