CLEMATIS ALPINA 'CONSTANCE' SEED HEAD

In spring I posted a picture of the lovely alpine clematis 'Constance'.  The flowers lasted a few weeks and now have been replaced with fluffy seed heads.  Although not quite as beautiful as the flowers, it just goes to show that this alpine clematis has a lot to offer:  lovely leaves, beautiful flowers, and pretty seed heads.

I am hoping to train 'Constance' up along the side of my kitchen door and then across above the 6ft (180cm) kitchen window.  I think it will look beautiful in spring with the pretty leaves and flowers framing my view of the garden.
