Big, double lilac blue flowers show up in late spring or early summer on Crystal Fountain Clematis. And they do resemble a cool fountain, since the flower centers bring to mind a water spray above the petals’ blue backdrop. One rush of the 4- to 5-inch flowers is enough to love, but this clematis also reblooms. In zones 4 through 9, it should bloom in June through September.
Although it boasts big flowers, this clematis plant grows smaller than many. It reaches about 4 to 6 feet high or long, and about 2 feet around. This makes it a great choice for small gardens, containers, trellises, picket fences, or balconies. The giant blue flowers on Crystal Fountain Clematis are friendly to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The leaves and flowers are deer and rabbit resistant.
Crystal Fountain Clematis Care
With its compact habit, this clematis can perform in many areas of the landscape. Like most clematis vines, it fares best if the roots are kept shaded and cool, but the vine gets sun. Accomplish this by planting some low-growing annual flowers at the base of the vine in the container or soil. Place your plant in average to rich soil, adding some compost for nutrients and good drainage. Water your clematis regularly, especially when new and in peak heat or drought. Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer in spring as the plant buds out.
Be sure to plant clematis near an obelisk, trellis, or other structure so it can climb up toward the sun. Although you might have to help train the vine at first, it will quickly wrap around fences or wires with little help. This clematis is in pruning group 2, and blooms on new and old wood. So remove dead or weak stems in late spring, and do any other desired pruning immediately after the first flowering period. Remove faded flowers all season to encourage full reblooming.
Crystal Fountain Clematis Spacing
If planting more than one of these clematis vines together on a fence or trellis, give each room to climb. Space the plants about 2 feet apart.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
