Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is specifically bred for its compact habit, making it an excellent choice for containers, pots, or hanging baskets.
It thrives in full sun to partial sun. For the most abundant mauve-blue blooms, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
The Boulevard Sacha Clematis is hardy in zones 4 through 9. If you live in the colder end of this range, ensure your container is protected or well-insulated during deep freezes.
It reaches a mature height of approximately 5 feet. Because it is a vine, you can train it to grow vertically on a trellis, fence, or decorative support to maximize your space.
It requires well-drained soil that is slightly alkaline. If you are planting in a container, use a high-quality potting mix and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent water from sitting around the roots.
For optimal growth and flowering, apply a balanced fertilizer when you see new growth in the spring and again immediately after the first flush of blooms fades.
