Emerging a deep blue/purple with a faint rose bar before fading to a lighter shade of blue, ‘Olympia’ is a colourful and compact option for smaller gardens with some shade. Rarely exceeding 1.5m in height, the single or semi-double petalled blooms overlap, each surrounding a boss of creamy-yellow anthers. This easy going Clematis produces flowering buds from leaf axils and the end of stems from late spring to early autumn.
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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser.
