Clematis "Blue Angel"??


Clematis "Blue Angel"??

I bought this from Monsieur B, when he wasn't particularly sober, more than two years ago...

I said that I thought it looked a bit straggly.

"Pas de souci!", said he, giving it the chop...

This is the first time I've seen ANYTHING of it since!!!

Shame, I've surrounded it with solanum of exactly the same colour...I wish I'd remembered what it looks like...

Thanks Paul! I've had white solanum before...and it does really go for it!! This is supposed to be white - but it's blue!! :))

I too like the combination of the blue angel which I have and the blue solanum which I used to have.

Thanks Annie and Sg.

I'm looking forward to seeing them get going now :)

Is Blue Angel vigorous, Sg?

It is described in the above link as 8' -10'. I would say that is right. I also agree that it just keeps on flowering for months and it has many stems so it looks good on the pergola.

Oh yes! And oh good!!

That's just where this one is Sg.

It has taken so long to appear, that I have a feeling it'll be a strong one. :)

I think it is my favourite clematis.

It is very pretty indeed, Sg...I think it may become my favourite one too. :)
