This is really an extraordinary clematis. Although the flowers are small, they are produced in such profusion. Some years it almost looks like my arbor is covered with snow. And the fragrance is just amazing.

This clematis and my grapevine grow together up on the same arbor. When the clematis is in bloom, the grapes are also ripening, so the two fragrances mingle to create the most incredible scent. I can’t pass under the arbor without pausing, closing my eyes, and enjoying the wonderful aroma. Another glorious gift from the universe.
