Summary

Clematis baldwinii, commonly known as Pine Hyacinth, is a deciduous perennial subshrub or herb native to the sandy, well-drained soils of pine flatwoods and scrub habitats in Florida. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.3-0.7 feet (0.09-0.2 meters). The plant features delicate, nodding flowers that are pink to purple in color, blooming profusely in the spring and sporadically throughout the summer and fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Pine Hyacinth is valued for its showy flowers and adaptability to a range of light conditions, from part shade to full sun. It is often used in native plant gardens, borders, and as a ground cover in areas with similar climates to its native habitat. While it prefers well-drained soils, it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Gardeners should be aware that Clematis species can be susceptible to fungal diseases such as wilt and powdery mildew, and should provide good air circulation to prevent these issues.CC BY-SA 4.0
