See a delightful show of nodding bluebell-like flowers climbing up all manner of garden structures during the warm summer months.
Very similar to the parent species of Sollya heterophylla, however ‘Ultra Blue’ stays true to its name and produces an abundance of dainty dark azure blue flowers, while also boasting a stronger branching habit to create a full and dense appearance with a great show of blooms.
This half-hardy bluebell creeper grows remarkable evergreen foliage, which forms a perfect backdrop for the abundance of flowers borne from June to September.
The climbing nature of ‘Ultra Blue’ makes it a perfect patio climber for training over a pergola or arch. This beauty will also make an impact when grown up an obelisk or trellis, to support the twin stems.
Sollya performs well in sheltered, sunny spots in mild parts of the UK, or can be grown in containers in cooler conditions, to be moved inside the greenhouse or conservatory when the winter weather comes.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to be planted out.
