{"product_id":"clematis-virginiana-1","title":"Clematis virginiana (Virgin's Bower) - 1 gal","description":"Virgin’s Bower is a native, clambering vine that twines itself up a support, able to reach a height of up to 20'. If grown without a support, it will crawl over everything in its path, leaving a trail of starry white flowers from July to September. The seed heads remain attractive into winter. The thickets formed by the suckering, abundant foliage make useful cover and nest sites for birds such as northern cardinals.\u003cbr\u003eIt is an excellent replacement for the non-native, invasive Sweet Autumn Clematis. The two can be differentiated by the leaf margins: our native Virgin’s Bower has a toothed (dentate) leaf margin and is bright green, while the invasive has a smooth-edged (entire) margin and is dark green and leathery.\u003cbr\u003eSources:\u003cbr\u003eGrowing and Propagating Wild Flowers by Harry R.
