Multi-blue has flowers that fool the eye, since the newly-opened blooms seem to have a small reddish center, but as the flowers mature, that center expands to a puff of blue much lighter than the petals. The overall effect is of a vine with flowers of various colorings. A real beauty. This one blooms both early and late summer.

Multi Blue is a type 2 Clematis. Clematis in this group produce flowers from both the prior year's growth and the current seasons. The best time to prune them is in early spring.
