The wonderful, virginia whitehair leather flower! This has to be one of the best of the dwarf Clematis species for a rock garden, showy purple and white tinged flowers wear a lovely coat of soft fur. The whole plant is very demure, very showy!

It's a standout not only in bloom but in seed as well as the tufts of seeds make a show almost as good as a pasque flower! Three season interest if there ever was.

This is the choicest one for the connoissuer.
