Clematis hirsutissima

Family: Ranunculaceae, Genus: Clematis

Description:

Clematis hirsutissima, known as the dwarf bush clematis, is a perennial herb native to the western United States. This unique plant features an erect, non-vining growth habit with hairy stems reaching up to 20 inches tall. Its large, divided leaves and solitary, deep purple-blue flowers make it a striking addition to grasslands and sagebrush plains. The plant's urn-shaped flowers lack true petals, instead showcasing petal-like sepals. It produces hairy achene fruits that are dispersed by the wind. With its deep-reaching roots, it is well-suited for xeriscaping and rock gardening. Often found in prairies, it is valued for its drought resistance and traditional medicinal uses.
