Notes

'Sparky Blue' clematis (Clematis 'Sparky Blue') is a vine for containers, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and privacy screens. 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 soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, so color returns through the seasons. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Little bluestem, and Nodding onion.
