Why Choose Clematis ‘Bredon Blue’ for Your Garden?
If you're looking for a low-maintenance clematis that delivers a spectacular spring flower display, ‘Bredon Blue’ is a top choice.

Ideal for both traditional and contemporary garden designs, this versatile climber works beautifully on:
Garden walls and pergolas
Archways and obelisks
Through shrubs or small trees
Companion planting with climbing roses
Its subtle blue flowers also attract bees and other early-season pollinators, making it a perfect addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Growing Tips
To get the best from your clematis, follow these planting and care tips:
Planting Location
Choose a spot with sun or partial shade. ‘Bredon Blue’ appreciates cool, shaded roots and sun on its foliage, so mulch the base or underplant with ground cover.
Soil
Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged or overly dry positions.
Pruning
This clematis falls into Pruning Group 1, meaning it requires minimal pruning. Simply tidy up by removing dead or damaged stems after flowering to maintain its shape.
Support
Provide a trellis, wire support, or natural structure to climb. Use soft ties to gently train new shoots.
