Boulevard® Olympia™ Clematis

Soft and clear blueish-purple with buttery yellow fringed centers, the Boulevard® Olympia™ Clematis (Clematis 'Evipo099') will add colorful vertical interest to your summer gardens and container plantings! Sometimes the blooms can be semi-double and bloom along the entire stem from May through September!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Clematis with the leaves in full sun, but the roots in partial shade. Use wood mulch or a layer of rock over the roots to keep them nice and cool. If you are using Olympia™ as a climber, please place your support firmly before you plant. It's best not to disturb their roots after planting. Give your beautiful Olympia™ a lifelong present that our expert growers swear by! It will require a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. However, Clematis won't tolerate standing water, so make sure you plant in well-drained soil, or elevate it in a raised planting bed.

Blooming on new and old wood, Type 2 Clematis pruning consists of varieties that bloom on both the current and previous year's growth. Once the first early flush of blooms finishes, simply snip them back. Relish the second flush of blooms later in the season! When pruning, keep variations in stem length to produce a better-balanced plant. Any weak or dead wood should be removed at this time as well. Then Every 3-5 years, Clematis appreciate root division to keep the vines vigorous.
