When I was a little girl, I would play in my yard and come across a beautiful red and orange clematis vine hiding among my Zinnia plants. My father would trim it and change its color, the vibrant colors pairing well with the autumn leaves around me.Sweet autumn clematis is a very hearty grower and can bloom in even lackluster soil, given that it receives a solid six to eight hours of sunlight each day. The plant produces deep roots, so when you are transplanting a plant to a different place in the garden, ensure the roots sit at least three to four inches underground to keep the roots cool and the plant thriving during the heat of the summer. Debra LaGattuta is a gardening expert with three decades of experience in perennial and flowering plants, container gardening, and raised bed vegetable gardening. She is a Master Gardener and lead gardener in a Plant-A-Row, which is a program that offers thousands of pounds of organically-grown vegetables to local food banks.

Clematis can cause severe mouth pain and ulcers if eaten. Toxic to dogs, cats, horses. Clinical signs are salivation, vomiting, diarrhea. In humans, symptoms may include dizziness, confusion, fainting, and convulsions. Fatalities are rare, due to the rapid and intense bitter taste and mouth irritation from eating. Gastric lavage is recommended and anti-inflammatory to soothe irritated tissue. Contact dermatitis results in skin redness and burning sensation for some people, gardening gloves are recommended.Sweetly scented, Clematis paniculata (Sweet Autumn Clematis) is a very large deciduous climber with masses of starry creamy-white flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), from late summer to fall. The blossoms are so profuse that they generally cover the leathery dark green leaves. Their delightful fragrance, a mixture of sugar, honey, and vanilla, fills the air as you pass by. Even after flowering is over, this vine remains attractive, thanks to the silvery seedheads left by the passing flowers, therefore providing winter interest. Adding charm, fragrance and color in the late season garden, this vigorous and extremely floriferous vine is perfect for covering a wall, fence or arbor. Clematis paniculata is a synonym of Clematis terniflora.
