'Vanso' is large-flowering clematis that features double pale blue flowers. This is a deciduous, semi-woody climbing clematis vine that typically grows to a compact 6-8’. Features large, dahlia-like, double, pale blue to blue-violet flowers (5-6” diameter).
Blooms from late spring through much of the summer. May stop blooming in the heat of the summer with some additional bloom occuring later in summer as temperatures begin to moderate. The trifoliate leaves are made up of three, ovate leaflets. 'Vanso' is often sold under the trade name BLUE LIGHT, and was discovered as a double sport of the clematis cultivar ‘Mrs Cholmondeley’.
Clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamppost or other stationary structure. They provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens.
They can also be planted to sprawl over and through shrubs, scramble over old stumps or simply as a ground cover in conjunction with other flowering perennials.

The distinctive, prolific blooms easily measure five to six inches wide, are doubles in spring, and semi-double in fall. Easy to grow, with excellent disease and pest resistance. Well-suited to small spaces and containers. Deciduous.
