Anemone clematis is a robust, climbing vine characterized by its woody stems and vigorous growth pattern. It can reach impressive heights, typically scaling between 16 to 40 feet (5 to 12 meters) with a spread of 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.6 meters). This vine's tendrils grasp onto various surfaces, enabling it to ascend vertically. Its stems, while sturdy, can appear somewhat fragile or slender. Generously adorned with foliage, anemone clematis produces an extensive coverage that makes it an effective plant for trellises or similar support structures.
