Notes
'Grandiflora' clematis (Clematis Montana 'Grandiflora') is a vine for borders, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It climbs fast and has fragrant blooms in spring, which attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it a sturdy support to climb.
Pairs well with Shirotae cherry, Lilac, and Concha ceanothus.
