Clematis Perle d Azur

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.

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.
