A lovely, delicate clematis of the Rockies, this one is not the most floriferous in cultivation. It looks much like C. alpina or C. macrophylla but the latter species are much more floriferous in the garden. The Blue Clematis, however, will grow in much deeper shade than the other species mentioned. It would be a fine addition to a woodland garden; simply allow the plant to scramble among the shrubs as it would in nature. The seedheads are fluffy and an added attraction.
