How to grow sweet autumn clematis

When to plant sweet autumn clematis

Sweet autumn clematis is a vigorous twining perennial vine that smothers itself in fragrant white flowers in late summer to fall (NC State: August to October). NOTE: NC State lists it as invasive and aggressive and does not recommend it for any garden, since it escapes by self-seeding, layering, and runners; consider native clematis instead. If grown, plant in spring in full sun to part shade and cut it back hard.

Sweet Autumn Clematis is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
