Description
CLEMATIS ‘Multi Blue’ is a compact, early large-flowered variety celebrated for its dramatic, fully double blooms and long flowering season. This cultivar produces layered, sculptural flowers in rich navy-blue tones, gradually softening to silvery blue as they mature.
This clematis suits small gardens, containers, obelisks, pergolas, and mixed borders. Its moderate size and repeat flowering make it a standout choice for colour from early summer into early autumn. Roots prefer cool, shaded conditions, while the stems thrive in sun or partial shade – a classic “head in the sun, feet in the shade” clematis.
