This non-vining, small-flowered clematis will form a low arching mound a good 3 feet across. Mine sort of flops forward, probably toward the best light... if I want a more circular effect, I have to spread the branches around, maybe peg a couple that want to grow in the opposite direction of what I'd like. Dies back to the ground in winter.

Planting in the sun will enhance the aniseed scent. Clematis mandshurica is closely related to C. recta and is non-clinging for about the first 3 feet. After this the leaf stalks begin grasping for nearby support.
