A good, sturdy, no fuss Clematis that does well in Coastal So. Calif. and tolerates late summer heat and humidity. Huge flowers and a fast grower once established. Highly recommended !

Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers.
Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

This is a great Clematis! if you get one i it should be this one. Here it blooms in early may with huge white flowers, and later in the summer it reblooms with tiny white airy flowers... it's amazing! mine receives no water besides rain and it gets light shade in the morning and then a little but of sun very late in the afternoon. Certainly a wonderful carefree plant.

My parent's have this plant climbing up the lamp post in their front yard/garden. I think it looks beautiful! Full, glossy folliage with beautiful white blossoms. I see it as a "no-brainer" and if I had more space I would plant one for myself.
