Description

Clematis, or Leather Flower, are vine-like plants with beautiful “flat” flowers with large centers and delicate petals. The flowers are usually in shades of blues, purples, reds, and pinks. Most Clematis are grown as a decorative piece for fences, arches, and mailbox posts.

For Your Pet

As beautiful as Clematis are, they can cause severe illness if ingested. Clematis contains glycosides, which can cause excessive drooling, and diarrhea.

Warning

Keep your pet away from Clematis as it may cause serious illness.
