    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    It is hard to believe this strikingly architectural vine is a relative of the loved and maligned C. tangutica. Reaches to about 10', with finely dissected leaves looking as if they have been cut from metal. From mid to late summer and into the fall, waxy, six-petalled, yellow flowers appear looking as if they have been cut from orange rind. These are followed by large, fluffy, white seed heads every bit as beautiful as the flowers. An easy grower in dappled shade to full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy from 6 °F to near 0 °F, mid USDA zone 7 and below. Previously sold as C. orientalis v. tenuifolia, thank you to Ton Hannink for, at long last, a proper identification.
