A striking double, blue flowered variety that produces a succession of summer blooms. Useful for covering unsightly walls and fences as well as training through established trees and shrubs. ‘Franziska Maria’ is ideal for small gardens or even for scrambling up an obelisk in a suitably large pot.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
