Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| General Description |
| A beautiful climbing clematis that bears elegant lavender-blue bell-shaped flowers. |
| Cultivation |
| Medium to wet soil with full sun to partial shade. |
| Pests |
| Clematis wilt is caused by the fungus Phoma clematidina with the symptoms evident through wilting leaves, leaf stalks turning black and then with the stems starting to quickly wilt. There are no chemical controls available to treat Clematis Wilt. If an infection is apparent, cut the wilted stems back to the healthy tissue. Tools used should be disinfected thoroughly and removed infected tissue should be destroyed to prevent any further soil or plant infection. |
| Flower Description |
| Lavender-blue bell-shaped flowers with curly edges. Flowers hand downward from the stem. |
