Clematis montana, the mountain clematis,[1] also Himalayan clematis[2] or anemone clematis, is a flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. A vigorous deciduous climber, in late spring it is covered with a mass of small blooms for a period of about four weeks. The odorous flowers are white or pink, four-petalled, with prominent yellow anthers. It is native to mountain areas of Asia from Afghanistan to Taiwan.[3]

The plant attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.[4] Numerous varieties and cultivars have been bred for horticultural use, including:

  • C. montana 'Alexander'
  • C. montana var. grandiflora AGM[5] with larger flowers than the species
  • C. montana var. rubens
    • 'Broughton Star' AGM[6] - double, deep pink flowers

    • 'Freda'
    • 'Pink Perfection'
    • 'Tetrarose' AGM[8] has deep pink flowers.

Those cultivars marked AGM have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Etymology

The Latin specific epithet montana refers to mountains or coming from mountains.[10][11]
