Like many members of that genus, it is prized by gardeners for its showy flowers.
C. lanuginosa is a twice-bearing clematis that blooms once in spring and again in summer. It is native to China; in the USA it grows best in American Horticultural Society zones 9 to 1,[1] which covers much of the USA.[2] It is best known as a parent species for many of the large-flowered varieties of Clematis.[1] One example of these would be Jackman's Clematis C. jackmanii. The cultivar 'Candida' has 8-inch white blossoms.
