Clematis terniflora var. mandshuricamandshurica is is a deciduous vine native to Eastern Asia, where it is often found in forest edges, scrub and along rivers. It grows rapidly to a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.6 meters) and a width of 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters), and is valued for its profuse, fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that appear from late summer to autumn, creating a spectacular display. It is often used to cover fences, trellises, and arbors, providing a quick screen or vertical interest in the garden. Regular pruning is necessary to control its size and encourage blooming. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to clematis wilt. Overgrowth can be an issue, so it should be planted where it can be managed. It is not considered invasive in its native range but can become so when introduced to new areas.

This Clematis prefers a sunny to partly shaded location with well-drained soil, ideally with its roots shaded and the vine in the sun. It is adaptable to various soil types, including loamy or sandy soils, as long as they are well-drained. It requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, but does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps the root zone cool. It is important to provide support for the vine to climb on, as it uses its leaf stalks to twine around structures.CC BY-SA 4.0
