Clematis Perle d Azur from the Jackmanii group is simply sensational.
I know, I have referred to other Clematis in the past as being my favourite, but you know by now what I am like. Truly this has to be one of the best blue flowered Clematis available. Perle d Azur with sky blue blooms measuring 4in across flowers continuously from July to September.
The one which we have, grows over an arch in the main area of the back garden. I found that this Clematis did take a couple of seasons to settle in, but is now robust and gives a wonderful display every Summer without fail. Here in Aberdeen ‘Perle’ d’ Azur’ performs best in a sunny position, coming into flower in July and continuing through till late September.
Pruning should be carried out between late February till the end of March, and it could not be simpler, just cut the stems hard back to buds which are about 6 to 8 inches from ground level.
The RHS has given this one its prestigious award of garden merit.
Position – Full sun
Hardiness – Fully hardy
Flowering period – July/September

Clematis are hungry plants. I like to give the first feed in late March using a good quality Rose food. Then every two weeks after this I give a liquid tomato feed. It is essential to stop all feeding as soon as you see flower buds starting to develop.

After your admiration for the clematis I showed on Six on Saturday, I wouldn’t want you to think that every clematis I had, and I have already told you there are many, was as floriferous. Clematis viticella ‘Venosa Violacea’ (above) on one of the rose arbour posts is doing OK though, albeit not in the same way as some others. However, as a very rough approximation perhaps at least 25 or 30% of the summer flowering varieties are not blooming or are looking unlikely to bloom this year – it could easily be more than that, but I am trying to be optimistic!
Clematis are showy, versatile vines that are well-known and beloved for their beautiful flowers.They’re outstanding for adding vertical accents with bright,
For those of us who garden, June is in many ways the month of reckoning, nature’s totting-up of all those cold, dark days in the horticultural trenches when we dug and divided, planted and sowed, hoed, weeded, raked and pruned in the hopes of a better garden.
Today’s featured plant is in the only spot where I feel a Wisteria would thrive in the garden, don’t have the heart to remove Clematis Blue Angel though.
