High Country Gardens Mongolian Snowflakes Clematis
Best low-maintenance shrub for waterwise gardeners seeking season-long pollinator appeal.

You get months of ivory blooms followed by striking, feathery seed heads, making it a low-effort way to bring architectural texture and pollinators to a waterwise garden.
