    These flowers are the most blue of any clematis I've seen. Just beautiful! It's an interspecific hybrid between C. integrifolia 'Olgae' and C. 'The President.' Easily rooted from semi-soft wood cuttings all summer. Keep plant well watered the first year.

    This clematis was by far one of the best impulse buys I ever made. I planted it almost as an afterthought, thinking a bush-type clematis wouldn't be one of my favorites. I was wrong. It truly is an amazing plant! In just its second year it has produced more blooms than I'd have time to count, and has been my longest blooming clematis to date.
