Clematis
ligusticifolia * Creek Clematis, Western Clematis |
Clematis ligusticifolia
is diocious, there are male and female plants. This California native
vine can be found throughout the state at lower elevations. The flowers shown are the female
flowers. Creek clematis grows up to 20' or more up into trees.
You can often see the flowers of the Creek Clematis draped over shrubs or
trailing out of the trees in the Spring. Clematis ligusticifolia blooms from late winter
through mid spring. I like the white poppy-like flowers as well as the
feather duster seeds. The feather duster look leads to Clematis
ligusticifolia also having the common name of Pipestems. Clematis
ligusticifolia was use medicinally. The roots are generally found
growing in the shade, the top of Clematis ligusticifolia is generally in
the sun. Clematis ligusticifolia can be found growing in moist or
dry soils.
