masses of charming, bell-shaped flowers in a lovely shade of rosy-pink, appearing in abundance from late spring right through the summer. This compact clematis is perfect for smaller spaces and containers, typically reaching a manageable height of 4 to 6 feet. It's a wonderful way to add vertical interest and a profusion of color without overwhelming your garden.
Now, when it comes to sunshine, the Boulevard Cherokee Clematis thrives in a location that receives at least six hours of sun per day. While the vines appreciate sunshine to fuel their blooms, it's beneficial to provide some shade at the base of the plant to keep the roots cool. And for those of you concerned about curious critters, clematis are generally not a favorite snack for deer.
To help your Boulevard Cherokee Clematis climb and bloom its best, I recommend planting it near a trellis, obelisk, or even allowing it to scramble through shrubs. When planting, be sure to enrich the soil with Watters Premium Mulch. This will help retain moisture and provide a healthy environment for the roots. In early spring and again after the first flush of blooms, feed your clematis with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowers.
The Boulevard Cherokee Clematis is a delightful and relatively easy-to-grow vine that will reward you with a season-long display of beautiful blooms. Give it a try, and watch your garden come alive with color! Happy climbing!
