Clematis ‘Multi Blue’ is a distinctive variety immediately recognised for its unusual, fully double flowers and rich colouring. It offers an alternative to traditional single-flowered clematis and adds a refined, layered texture to vertical planting.

The blooms are multi-layered and star-like, appearing in deep blue to violet shades often highlighted by a slightly silvery centre. The rosette-like flower form gives the plant a decorative and eye-catching character. Flowering typically occurs in two main waves, first in late spring to early summer and again in late summer.

‘Multi Blue’ grows as a compact yet vigorous climber, reaching approximately 2 to 2.5 metres once established. It is well suited for trellises, pergolas, and obelisks, and can also be grown successfully in larger containers when provided with adequate support.

For best performance, plant in full sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil that remains evenly moist. Like most clematis, it prefers cool roots and sunlit upper growth. Mulching around the base or planting low companions helps maintain optimal root conditions.

This variety flowers mainly on older wood, so pruning should be light. Remove weak or dead stems and shape gently rather than cutting back severely.

For gardeners seeking an unusual flower form combined with a long flowering season, ‘Multi Blue’ remains a striking and memorable choice.
