Clematis ligusticifolia
“Western Clematis”

This pretty native vine has lovely 1” wide white flowers in Summer. Twining stems would do well climbing a trellis or scrambling through a tree. Grows to about 15’ tall. Lovely even after bloom when the frothy seedheads do their thing. Found growing from Northwest Mexico to British Columbia, often growing along streams or wet places. The crushed leaves have been used in the past as a poultice for skin conditions. Remains evergreen with adequate water. Although it is native to the Western United States, this plant can be aggressive in areas with high rainfall, like the Pacific Northwest.
