Why we like this plant
If you love bold blooms and elegant structure, Clematis 'Multi-Blue' is a gem. Its intricate double flowers look like they've been hand-painted, offering a splash of cool-toned drama wherever you plant it. It’s compact enough for a balcony or courtyard and tough enough to thrive in UK gardens. Plus, the repeat flowering means you get a second hit of colour later in the season—what’s not to love?
