A native replacement to the invasive sweet autumn clematis (Clematis ternifolia), you can tell the difference between the two plants by the foliage. Native Virgin's bower has trifoliate leaves with coarsely toothed edges and the leaf's surface feels smoother in texture while sweet autumn clematis has trifoliate leaves that are entire (smooth) around the edges and has a coarse texture to the leaf surface.
