‘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.
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.
