Clematis is making a great comeback in the garden world. Know as an “Grandma’s vine”, we are seeing a resurgence for this neat vine. Clematis is delicate vine that is actually very strong and study once it is established. It thrives in full sun and part shade, so its uses are expanded for most landscapes. Clematis is quite hardy and take cold as well as heat. It even thrives in hot, humid environments. It will thrive in cooler regions too, living in zone 4.
Olympia is one of our favorites with customers in zones 4-9. A more compact grower, Bluish-lavender flowers and yellow centers (anthers) are free-flowering on both leaf axils and stems making this a fuller more vibrant choice. Used on trellis, fence, or pergolas for cover, shade, or the attraction of beneficials, such as bees and hummingbirds.
Once planted, Clematis will need a good bit mulch around the base of the vine to keep roots cool and moist. They like their faces in the sun, but feet in the shade! Seasonal trimming will need to happen to keep Clematis blooming, which means the more you trim and shape, the more blooms the Clematis Olympia will generate.
Boulevard® Olympia™ Clematis (Clematis 'Evipo099' PPAF) is a top 10 of our Clematis sales.
