Clematis macropetala, commonly known as the downy clematis or early blue clematis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae. This deciduous climber is native to the mountainous regions of northern China, Mongolia, and Siberia, where it thrives in cool, temperate climates. The species was first described by the German botanist Carl Friedrich von Ledebour in the early 19th century, and it has since become a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world due to its attractive flowers and hardy nature.

Clematis macropetala is characterized by its vigorous climbing habit, reaching heights of up to 3 meters (10 feet) when supported by trellises, fences, or other structures. The plant features pinnate leaves with ovate to lanceolate leaflets, which are often toothed or lobed. One of the most striking aspects of Clematis macropetala is its nodding, bell-shaped flowers, which typically appear in early spring. These flowers are composed of four petal-like sepals that can range in color from pale blue to deep violet, and they often have a slightly hairy texture, giving them a distinctive, downy appearance. The flowers are followed by fluffy seed heads that add visual interest to the plant well into the summer months.

In cultivation, Clematis macropetala is valued for its early blooming period and its ability to thrive in a variety of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It prefers a position in full sun to partial shade and benefits from a cool root run, which can be achieved by mulching or planting low-growing companion plants around its base. Pruning is generally minimal, limited to removing dead or damaged stems after flowering. This species is also relatively resistant to common clematis diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.

Clematis macropetala has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, a testament to its ornamental value and reliable performance in gardens. Its delicate yet resilient nature makes it a versatile addition to a wide range of garden settings, from cottage gardens to more formal landscapes.
