| This may be a shot in the dark because there is no flower yet. But is it a clematis? Are there some that don't climb? Thanks for your help.

| Yes, there are some that don't climb but that does not look like one to me. Sorry. |

| I would say no also - looks more like lambs ears |

| Check clematis recta purpurea. Your leaves don't look like clematis though. The description of the flowers matches it. This species does grow in the wild. I have it in my garden and it grows very vigorously almost straight up (almost no support required) to about 2 meters. The flowers have a very pleasant scent. |

Wrong name- sorry. Clematis recta manschurica, not purpurea. I have both, hence the mistake. I am including the picture of it this time, and actually, the leaves somewhat resemble yours.  |

| Golden, the leaves do sort of resemble Lamb's ear, they are fuzzy. Magda, the leaves on my plant are not shiny like the ones in your photo. I started this plant from seeds that were given to me and named as clematis, but I really don't think that's what they are. Thanks to all for your help. |
