Clematis florida
Also called Cream Clematis
Clematis florida is a climbing perennial or subshrub from southern China, grown in gardens for its large cream flowers. It likes a sunny position with cool, moist roots, and is best grown in a free-draining soil with shade or mulch at the base.
Clematis florida, the Asian virginsbower, or passion flower clematis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae.
Clematis florida is native to southern China, specifically the provinces of Guangdong, northern Guangxi, Hubei, Hunan, western Jiangxi, southwestern Yunnan and Zhejiang, where it commonly grows amongst scrub, thickets and along streams at an elevation of around 1700 m. From China, Clematis florida has long been grown in Korea and Japan, where it can be found as cultivated plant in gardens, and in the wild.
