Clematis marmoraria (New Zealand dwarf clematis) is an evergreen plant with parsley-like, leathery and dark green foliage. The white flowers are about 2 centimetres (0.79 inches) wide, blooming in early spring.[1]
Habitat
This clematis can be found growing in alpine marble karrenfeld either in crevices in massive marble, or amongst semi-fixed rocks, stones, and similar rocky sites in open herbfield.[1]
Uses
Clematis × cartmanii is a hybrid between Clematis marmoraria and Clematis paniculata that is grown ornamentally.[2] The hybrid was created by New Zealand horticulturalist Joe Cartman and several popular cultivars of the cross are now in cultivation.
