A genus of flowering vines and shrubs with beautiful four-petaled (or more) flowers that often have feathery seed heads, commonly grown in gardens.
From Greek klema (vine or twig), referring to the plant's climbing vine nature. The genus includes over 300 species native to temperate regions worldwide.
Clematis flowers are surprisingly clever engineers—their feathery seed heads called plumed achenes act like tiny parachutes, spinning and floating through the air to disperse seeds far from the parent plant, making them excellent climbers for exploring new territory.
