Clematis - Ice Blue

Clematis Ice Blue, Clematis 'Ice Blue', is a new cultivar with 6-7" white flowers that are frosted with a tinge of blue when it first opens. 'Ice Blue' adds a cool and refreshing look to the garden in May through June and again in September. The compact habit makes it ideal for a container planting! Clematis 'Ice Blue' needs a supporting structure to grow properly. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply a generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Very reliable performers once established; they take a season or two.
