‘Blue Pirouette’ is a versatile, semi-herbaceous perennial clematis with elliptical green leaves and lightly scented violet-blue flowers, about 10cm (4in) wide, featuring twisted sepals and creamy-white anthers, blooming from early to late summer. Its non-clinging stems allow it to gracefully scramble in borders or through shrubs, trees, and roses, making it excellent for impromptu cut flowers.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Cut back the stems to the base of the plant each winter and apply a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown. Use twiggy prunings, ring stakes or bamboo canes to provide support.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
