Clematis Microphylla Var. Occidentalis

Western clematis, scientifically known as Clematis microphylla var. occidentalis, is a striking vine native to the western regions of North America. This plant is prized for its delicate, fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of blue and purple during the summer months. Its climbing habit makes it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add both beauty and structure to their landscapes. The leaves are small and finely divided, giving the plant a lacy appearance that enhances its ornamental value. Despite its beauty, it requires well-drained soil and partial shade to thrive, making it a versatile yet somewhat challenging plant to cultivate.
