Clematis virginiana aka Devil's Darning Needles

Clematis virginiana, also known by various names such as devil's darning needles, devil's hair, love vine, traveller's joy, virgin's bower, wild hops, and woodbine, is a large, vigorous, deciduous North American vine belonging to the Ranunculaceae (buttercup family). It is native to North America, spanning from Newfoundland to southern Manitoba down to the Gulf of Mexico. Despite some unclear rationale for certain common names, this vine is not related to twining parasites like Cuscuta, which are referred to as "devil's hair." Additionally, the name "Love Vine" is also used for alleged aphrodisiacs unrelated to Clematis. This herbaceous perennial or sub-shrub can reach heights of about 3-5-6m and features palmate pale to mid-green leaves measuring 12cm long. Its single, fragrant, star-shaped flowers are initially pale green and grow to be 3cm across. As they mature, they turn creamy-white or white, blooming from midsummer to autumn. Virgin's Bower, a super rare houseplant, is a member of the Clematis genus and is easy to grow. It thrives when regularly watered and placed in long-lasting, direct light, ideally within 1 foot of a window. The plant prefers soil that retains moisture well. Repotting it each time it doubles in size eliminates the need for added fertilizers. Native to Central and Eastern Canada and the United States, Virgin's Bower adds beauty to any space it graces.
