The ‘Multi Blue’ clematis is a spectacular perennial climbing plant, prized for its double or semi-double purplish-blue flowers, with a textured and unique heart. Its sophisticated appearance adds a unique touch to trellises, pergolas, fences, and walls in sunny to semi-shady locations.
Its blooming begins in late spring with magnificent double flowers, then can offer a re-bloom in late summer with single or semi-double flowers. It develops a vigorous vine with a well-balanced silhouette, ideal for creating a vertical focal point in the garden.
The ‘Multi Blue’ clematis belongs to pruning group 2, requiring light pruning in spring to preserve early blooming. It prefers rich, cool, and well-drained soil, with its base in the shade and its head in the sun. It is generally unattractive to deer, an interesting advantage for Quebec gardens.
