Bring Beauty to Your Garden with Blue Angel Clematis

The Blue Angel Clematis is a stunning perennial vine that will transform your garden into a floral paradise. Imagine cascades of sky-blue flowers adorning your mailbox, trellis, or porch. With its relatively easy-to-grow nature, the Blue Angel Clematis is a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. This particular vine is grown in a 2.5″ pot and arrives approximately 10″ tall, complete with staking for initial support.

Clematis ‘Blue Angel’ boasts delicate sky-blue flowers with paler centers and deeply furrowed petals featuring attractive wavy edges. In certain lighting conditions, particularly in the evening, the flowers may exhibit a distinctly pinkish hue. The greenish-yellow stamens provide a lovely contrast against the petals. Introduced in 1990 by Brother Stefan Franczak of Poland, this variety is prized for its exceptional beauty and hardiness in zones 4-9. The Blue Angel Clematis is a great choice for adding vertical interest to any garden.

An age-old saying about Clematis is, “Tops in the sun and feet in the shade.” This means that the vine thrives in sunny locations but benefits from having its base shaded. Plant low-growing ground covers such as ivy, myrtle, or pachysandra around the base of the Blue Angel Clematis to provide the necessary shade. This helps keep the roots cool and moist, promoting healthy growth and abundant blooms.

For optimal growth, the Blue Angel Clematis prefers fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Mulch generously with composted manure or compost to retain moisture and provide essential nutrients. During the growing season, feed the vine once a month with a well-balanced fertilizer to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. With proper care, your Blue Angel Clematis will reward you with years of breathtaking beauty.
