Comment:
This quick and easy growing deciduous vine dons a profuse amount of flowers even when it’s immature.
It attaches to anything nearby with supple twining stems. This is a vigorous vine that needs support.
Cultivars & Varieties: Numerous ones available including the ‘grandiflora’ that bears larger flowers and ‘Elizabeth’ and 'Rubens' that are not white, but pink.

'Rubens', a pink clematis, is just as floriferous and easy to grow as it's white cousins.
