This variety has unusually large and bright blue flowers! Beginning in early summer, flowers begin and continue throughout the summer until frost. The show then continues, with huge fluffy silver seed heads that persist throughout the winter! This clematis is easy to grow, and is very hardy, returning reliably each season.

Type: Hardy perennial

Seeds per packet: 3

Height: 8-12'

Location: Sun or part shade

Hardiness zones: 4-8

Note: Ornamental use only. Many plants have poisonous parts, these included.

Germination: These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on surface and water in. Do not bury the seeds. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 C, 68-72 F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
