Solitary clematis

Native to shrubby areas, meadows and stream banks. Solitary clematis is a woody-based, erect-stemmed, non-climbing clematis. Flowering violet to blue, nodding, bell-shaped flowers with recurved and often twisted sepals and creamy white anthers bloom from May to July, with continued sporadic bloom sometimes occurring throughout the rest of the summer. Each flower appears singly atop its own slender stalk, rising above the foliage. Sessile, ovate to lanceolate, entire, green leaves form dense foliage clumps. Flowers give way to attractive, plumose, silvery green seed heads.
