From the Prairie Series, this deciduous climber, has a flurry of flowers in early summer and then blooms intermittently later in the season. Garden care: Clematis prefer a moist, well-drained, humus rich soil with the roots and base of the plant kept cool and shaded by other plants or a layer of pebbles at the base. Ice Blue is a group 2 clematis, prune in February and after the first flush of flowers in early summer. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
