Clematis integrifolia

Clematis integrifolia

''Clematis integrifolia'' is a flowering vine of the genus ''Clematis''. Like many members of that genus, it is prized by gardeners for its showy flowers.
''C. integrifolia'' bears nodding, urn-shaped blue flowers in summer that are 1.5 inches wide. It is a fairly short variety, growing only to 3 feet high. It is native to Europe and Asia; in the USA it grows best in American Horticultural Society zones 8 to 1.

Several popular hybrids have been made by crossing ''C. integrifolia'' with other ''Clematis'' varieties. ''C.'' 'Hendersonii' is a cross with ''C. viticella'', and ''C''. 'Durandii' is a cross with ''C. x jackmanii''.
