Clematis 'Sweet Autumn Love' - 'Paniculata'

Sweetly scented, Clematis paniculata is a very large deciduous climber with masses of starry creamy-white flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), from late summer to fall. The blossoms are so profuse that they generally cover the leathery dark green leaves. Their delightful fragrance, a mixture of sugar, honey, and vanilla, fills the air as you pass by. Even after flowering is over, this vine remains attractive, thanks to the silvery seedheads left by the passing flowers, therefore providing winter interest. Adding charm, fragrance and color in the late season garden, this vigorous and extremely floriferous vine is perfect for covering a wall, fence or arbor. Clematis paniculata is a synonym of Clematis terniflora.
