Multi-Blue packs a lot of flowers into a compact, easy-to-use vine. This clematis actually prefers partial shade, and is a strong repeat bloomer, offering bold double blooms of indigo-violet with tufts of palest green. The blooms morph through stages, here a double blossom, there a single, creating a rich effect. While deer and rabbit don’t love clematis, pollinators do, bringing another dimension of life to your garden. The first flowers are in May and June, with a reprise in August through October.

A chance mutation from the lovely cultivar ‘The President’, Multi-Blue reaches from 5 to 10 feet high and only 2 feet across, so can easily find a home winding up a garden gate, an arbor, or even a spring- or fall-blooming shrub or small tree. Or to go all out in a summer display, grow your clematis up into a climbing rose. A container is a fine option with some support from a pyramid of stakes, a tuteur, or obelisk. Young clematis plants can benefit from some help finding their way to larger structures (say wider than an inch) with some twine, wire, or stakes.

Multi-Blue Clematis Care

The best situation for most clematis is full sun, but Multi-Blue is the exception to the rule, preferring to bloom like crazy in partial shade. Mulching with fine organic material is still recommended to ensure the roots stay cool and evenly moist. If you live in a region with strong frosts, plant your Multi-Blue deeper than it was growing by 2 inches to keep it from heaving out of the ground, and to evade clematis wilt. Always water well during the initial two to three seasons in your garden, watching out for dry spells or heat waves – especially if your clematis is in a container.

Pruning for Multi-Blue – a “group 2” clematis – is limited to a bang trim in spring. Just snip it back to about a foot of growth and take off any broken or damaged stems, and you’ll foster gorgeous growth for the season. Fertilizing is minimal too – you can simply add a little compost or cow manure – aged – in early spring. If you really want to add more, the most we recommend is a one-time use of slow-release, again in spring, or monthly liquid fertilizer beginning in April and stopping after July.

Multi-Blue Clematis Spacing

For optimal growth, allow approximately two feet of space for your Multi-Blue clematis. This will give the plant enough air circulation and sunlight exposure to the foliage. It also allows the roots enough to grow as the plant reaches it’s mature size.

    This clematis arrived in great condition and is thriving in the garden. It's already produced new blooms in the first 2 weeks and is growing up the fence. I'm very happy with this plant!

    gorgeous plants

    Posted by Rachel Sanchez on Jan 16, 2022

    I want to share my experience with this beautiful clematis. I planted it in the early spring and within weeks, I began noticing signs of new growth. It is now July and it has grown taller than any other in the garden, bearing dozens of spikes in gorgeous shades of blue. The blooms are so dense too!

    Disappointed

    Posted by Frederick Padykula on Jun 08, 2021

    Two of the 4 plants I ordered arrived with broken main stems. I sent a picture, evidently ??? The picture showing both broken stems was not sufficient. I asked to have my account deleted from your records and will not be ordering from you again.

    Plant damaged in...

    Posted by Lynn Boshkov on Apr 24, 2021

    On arrival, after 4 days in transit via FedEx, the plant’s stem was noted to have been partially broken due to the plant having slipped down on it’s support stake. The break was near the bottom of the stem—about 1/4 of the way from the bottom to the top of the plant. I gently pulled the plant upright and secured it upright then splinted the stem at the point of the break. I have kept the plant in its original pot and have been careful with watering and have minimized moving it. So far the top of the plant has not wilted. I plan to allow the plant to “heal” for 2-3 weeks before trying to plant it. There is some growth below the break and I think it will survive even if the top 3/4 of the plant dies. Disappointing but accidents happen in transit. More secure fastening to the support stake might be helpful. Also I seem to recall that I had ordered a gallon pot. The pot I got was definitely considerably smaller than a gallon. As I said I think it will survive and I am very happy to have a multi-blue as it is a stunning clematis!
