A wonderful, strong, healthy and moderately growing (2–3 m) variety with large double, dark blue flowers in summer and light blue single flowers in autumn. Ideal for growing in Polish climatic conditions. Blooms twice a year!!! Looks best near trellises, gazebos and pergolas. Clematis tolerates low temperatures well. Prefers sunny, warm positions sheltered from the wind. Does not like heavy, clay soils or very light ones. The soil should be fertile, humus-rich, permeable and moist, pH 6.0–7.0.
Use: Climbs beautifully on pergolas, fences, walls, gazebos, trellises and natural supports such as coniferous and deciduous trees, shrubs and small bushes.
Flowering: twice; at the turn of May and June and again in August and September.
Exposure: southern, western, eastern.
Care: Clematis should be planted 10 cm deeper than it grew in the pot and at least 30 cm away from other plants or walls. Mulch the soil around the plant with bark. Shade the base, e.g. with low shrubs, and before winter mound bark up to a height of 10–20 cm. Grows best in fertile, humus-rich, airy soils rich in calcium (pH 6–7). Fertilize from April and water intensively during the growing season.
Pruning: Spring flowering occurs on last year's shoots, therefore at the turn of February and March remove dead and diseased shoots, and prune healthy ones lightly: in the first year after planting cut to 30 cm above strong buds, in the second year to 70 cm, and in subsequent years to 150 cm above the ground.
