Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	(Clematis 'Rosea' x C. 'Warszawska Nike') Although Clematis BLUE PIROUETTE 'Zobluepi' (W. Snoeijer, 1992) was created almost 20 years ago, it has only been available in North America only in the last few years. It is the result of a cross between an herbaceous clematis and a climbing one and, as such, it is a lax climber. Its 3 to 4-inch flowers are bowl-shaped and upward facing when they open. As they age, they flatten presenting the central boss of pale violet blue to white filaments topped with yellow anthers. This is a nice contrast with the darker color of the sepals. Because it does not grow tall, this is ideal for growing in small shrubs, in containers or in a small garden. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. June, July, August. 4-6 ft. Violet Blue flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Hard prune this during the winter or in early spring.
