Notes
'Blue Ribbons' solitary clematis (Clematis integrifolia 'Blue Ribbons') is a vine for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It forms a dense habit and grows at a moderate pace. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Nodding onion, Sedge, Cytherea peony, and Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum.
