The large and elaborate blue-purple flowers of the Lindsay™ Clematis will stop you in your tracks. Growing to around 6 to 8 feet tall, the Lindsay™ Clematis develops lush green foliage, which offers a lovely contrast against its 6 to 7-inch blooms. Blooming around mid-summer, the Clematis uvaria ‘Lindsay’ can also rebloom into early fall, extending the season.
Ideal for growing in a pot up an obelisk, you can also train Lindsay™ Clematis along a fence or wall. Being deciduous, it dies back in the winter before new vigorous growth appears in the spring. Lindsay™ is suitable for growing in zones 4 to 9.
Lindsay™ Clematis Care
The best blooms are produced when the Lindsay™ Clematis is grown in full sun to part shade in moist, but well-drained fertile soil. Although drought tolerant once established, watering during dry spells is recommended. Fertilizing with a low-nitrogen feed in spring will help maintain plant health and encourage an amazing floral display come summer.
As a group 3 clematis, simply prune the old growth back to around 12 inches above soil level, cutting just above a pair of buds. When grown in a pot or container, more frequent irrigation will be required to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
Lindsay™ Clematis Spacing
When established, the Lindsay™ Clematis can grow to 6 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. When planting more than one specimen along a wall, a spacing of 24 to 30 inches is recommended.
