Virgin's bower is a vigorous native North American climbing vine that produces masses of small white flowers in late summer, followed by feathery silvery seed heads that persist into winter. It thrives in part shade to full sun with average moisture and grows happily along fences, trellises, or through shrubs. Provide a sturdy support structure and trim back in late winter to control its enthusiastic spread.
