Clematis 'Blue Angel'

Post by Doris_J »

Not as flashy as some of the others (I prefer dark colors), but still a nice Clemmie.

The softer colors make a nice contrast if there grown into a flowering shrub.

Yes, they do. This guy grows into a Rugosa Rose (pink) and into this Golden Hop Vine, which isn't really a great color combo, but oh well. It wasn't planned that way, it just happened (said the woman with rapidly decreasing garden space)!

Love them no matter what the shade! :) THanks for sharing. It's always nice to see a real one growing in a normal garden then to see it on a package as it might never reach! :)

This has been the best Clematis this year. It's still blooming its head off today. I wish the color was darker, but it's such a great performer, that I no longer care. Here it is today.
