Clematis Sugar Sweet Blue

Even fragrant clematis don’t always have a detectable smell; everything from the climate to the amount of sunlight can affect the strength of a clematis’ scent. But Sugar Sweet Blue is the rare exception that is dependably fragrant in most gardens. In fact, this is the most fragrant clematis around. In addition to bringing a lovely scent to your garden, you’ll love the periwinkle-purple flowers with their yellow centers that mature to a lighter, paler shade. The medium-to-large vine makes it perfect for training up a trellis or ambling through border gardens. Sugar Sweet Blue is a newer addition to the market, so it’s unlikely you’ll have seen it elsewhere. Clematis ‘Delightful Scent’ PPAF
