 | Clematis integrifolia |
| Common name : Solitary Clematis |

| The Bush Clematis are close cousins to the climbing varieties, but form a bushy, upright plant suited to growing in the border. This species bears large, nodding urn-shaped flowers, in shades of bright blue. Flowers are followed by fluffy seed heads in the autumn. Excellent for cutting. This species is tolerant of hot, humid summer regions, as well as cold winter climates. Clumps will need to be staked, or else allowed to sprawl over a nearby shrub. Prune right back to the ground in spring. This species deserves far wider use in the modern garden.
