It is native to southern Europe and northern Africa, but it is cultivated worldwide as an [[ornamental plant]] in gardens. The woody [[vine]] bears fragrant white flowers and small green [[achene]]s. When the flowers are newly opened they have a strong sweet [[almond]] fragrance.<br /> <br /> The vine grows in a tangled mass that is heavily sprinkled with flowers throughout the warmer months. It is popular with gardeners as a decoration along fences and [[trellis]]es, or as ground cover. If the vine has no other plants or structures to climb on, it will climb on itself, forming a large, densely tangled bush. The plant sends out many shoots and can reach over five meters in height. It is sweet-smelling but poisonous.<br /> <br /> In some areas, this species has become a nuisance after its [[introduced species|introduction]]. It is a weed outside of gardens and landscaped areas.<br /> <br /> ''Clematis flammula'' var. ''maritima'' is a hardier variety that is adapted to sand dunes. It is currently being studied as an agent of soil stabilization on [[erosion|eroded]] sandy beaches.<br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CLFL8 USDA Plants Profile]<br /> *[http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/cgi-bin/arr_html?Clematis+flammula References]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ranunculaceae]]</div>
