Informations supplémentaires

Wild clematis has masses of creamy-white flowers followed by the much more prominent feathery seed heads, which have given it one of its many other names: old man's beard. These last through much of the winter, in woods and hedges. This may be why the plant is also called traveller's joy. This is a woody perennial climbing plant with peeling fibrous bark. Like some cultivated varieties of clematis, it is very vigorous but easily controlled by pruning. The seeds are eaten by many birds and the scented flowers are a good nectar source for night-flying moths, as well as day-flying hoverflies and bees.
