Description

An extraordinary beauty with long lasting flowers each lasting for up to 4 weeks, ‘Multi Blue’ Clematis adorns the garden with stunning, violet-blue flowers with unusual, spiky, thistle-like centers. Flowers can measure up to 6 inches across! A profusion of flowers appear in late spring to early summer then reblooming in late summer to early fall. Growing 6 to 8 feet tall, Multi Blue Clematis is perfect for small gardens and containers, and looks beautiful growing up small trees and trellises. A super strong performer in sun or part shade, Multi Blue won’t disappoint!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 6 to 8 feet high and spreading 2 to 4 feet wide, the Multi Blue Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, cottage gardens, and blue or purple theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2 to 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 2

Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
