Description
Clematis 'Blekitny Aniol' Stok | Clematis
Clematis 'Blekitny Aniol' trained on a cane brings a clear, upright structure to this blue-flowering climbing plant. The cane-trained presentation gives Clematis a strong starting shape for vertical display, while still allowing it to grow as a climber rather than as a tree or shrub. It has green foliage and produces abundant blue flowers from June to September. The plant is deciduous, so its leaves are not present throughout the year. With an eventual height of approximately 250 cm, it can add height and colour to a pergola, trellis or fence in a typical UK garden. It can also be grown in a container when suitable climbing support is provided. This blue clematis needs something to climb and should not be treated as self-supporting. The upright starting form makes it easier to plan its position in a vertical garden space and helps present the foliage and flowers at a useful height. As a trained-on-a-cane form, it offers the familiar climbing habit of Clematis with a more defined initial structure. It is a useful choice for gardeners looking for a blue-flowering climber that can bring seasonal interest to a supported garden feature or container.

- Choose a position in sun or partial shade. A sheltered spot is suitable where this helps protect the plant from exposed UK garden conditions.
- It grows well in humus-rich, well-drained soil that remains lightly moist. Good drainage is important, while the soil should not be allowed to become excessively dry.

Uses of Clematis 'Blekitny Aniol' trained on a cane in the garden
- Use it around a pergola, trellis or fence to add vertical colour. The cane-trained presentation gives the climber an upright starting point, but a suitable climbing support remains necessary.
- This plant is also suitable for a container where there is enough space and an appropriate support structure. Its height of approximately 250 cm makes it useful for adding interest above lower planting.
- It is stated to be hardy to approximately -34.4°C to -28.9°C, corresponding to USDA zones 4–9. This provides a clear indication of its stated winter hardiness for UK garden planning.
- The main ornamental value comes from the abundant blue flowers set against green, deciduous foliage. The upright trained-on-a-cane form helps display these features in a defined vertical space.
- Combine it with other ornamental climbers or garden plants where light, space and support needs match. This allows the blue flowers to work with surrounding planting without creating a detailed planting scheme.
Clematis 'Blekitny Aniol' is a practical choice for adding vertical colour to a UK garden, provided it is given suitable climbing support in a sunny or partially shaded position.
