Sapphire Indigo™ Clematis ('Cleminov 51') is a short non-clinging vine with gorgeous purple-blue flowers in June and July.  It can be used as a loose open groundcover, but it works even better if allowed to twine up through small shrubs and sturdy perennials.  The 4" blooms open as an open-faced purple and mature to a beautiful sapphire blue.  Hybridized by INRA in France and introduced into the US by Conard Pyle Nurseries.

Group B:  Species and Cultivars which tend to be more vigorous growers.  They preform best with a yearly hard pruning in late winter or early spring.  Always remove dead stems, and cut the Group B plants back to 1' to 2'. 

PRN Preferred:  A long blooming sprawler, excellent when used in mixed borders.
