Description

An extremely free flowering compact beauty that prefers life on the partially shaded side, the ‘Bernadine’ Clematis features loads of large soothing icy blue to lavender-blue flowers with chocolate-maroon anthers blooming continuously from early summer to early fall! At 3 to 4 feet tall, Bernadine is a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces or in containers that can be situated on shady to partially shaded patios, decks, porches and other outdoor living spaces.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 3 to 4 feet high and around 2 to 3 feet wide, Bernadine Clematis is ideal for growing in pots that can be situated on patios, porches and decks or in garden beds on short fences and trellises, mailbox posts, obelisks, posts and other structures. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, blue theme gardens, Zen gardens, and butterfly or hummingbird gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2-3 feet apart to cover short fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

The Bernadine Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. It likes morning and evening sun but not direct afternoon sun. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 3

Bernadine Clematis is in pruning group 3, which consists of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet above the ground. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms. Although on some varieties you will be removing some green stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers.
