About This Plant

Coming alive as one of the harbingers of spring, Clematis 'Blue Dancer' is an ideal deciduous climbing plant to adorn your garden with. With abundant small bell-shaped sapphire blooms, framed by creamy-white centers and extraordinary 2 inch (5 cm) sepals, this clematis glimmers in the gentle breeze. From mid to late spring, and occasionally into late summer, these sparkly blooms are succeeded by feathery, silvery seed-heads that further enhance the beauty of the plant. As it cascades over a pergola, wall, or fence, or embellishes evergreen hedges or rhododendrons, Clematis 'Blue Dancer' brings an unparalleled grace to any space.

Our Tips & Recommendations

Planting Tip

Clematis love "cool feet, warm heads." Mulch the root zone well and position so the vine can climb into sunlight. Plant the crown 2–3 inches below soil level.

Pruning by Group

Know your pruning group! Group 1 blooms on old wood (light trim after flowering), Group 2 is light prune in late winter, Group 3 gets a hard prune to 12 inches in early spring.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first year. A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
