Blue Boy Clematis

Regular price $34.00 Sale

Clematis × diversifolia 'Blue Boy'

Bell-shaped down facing blue flowers about 3" across.  Very heavy bloomer.

 

Note: An initial key to growing Clematis successfully appears to be keeping the plant's root system cool.     The most vigorous vines seem to result from 3-4" of good mulch, plenty of moisture, and protection from the hot afternoon sun.
