Description

If you love Clematis but don’t have anything for one to climb on, meet ‘Filigree’, a compact variety that grows to only 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide producing a literal bouquet of gorgeous, large, silver lavender-blue double flowers from late spring through early fall. Whether you use her as an accent in smaller gardens spaces, a groundcover or border in garden beds, around the base of climbing Clematis to shade the roots, or in an urn or other container, this free-flowering beauty won’t disappoint!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 1 to 2 feet high and 3 feet or so wide, the Filigree Clematis is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or as a border or in groupings in lager garden beds. Because Clematis like to have their roots shaded, this one is a perfect choice for growing around the base of climbing Clematis vines. Also excellent in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the beautiful flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart for a solid border

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 2

Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
