What?s more impressive is that wherever you choose to site this superior cultivar, it will continue to produce a dramatic and eye-catching feature, especially when planted in a sunny spot. Height: 60cm (2?). Spread: 90cm (3?).
Clematis 'Blue Ravine' blooms in late spring/early summer, bearing huge 20cm lavender blue flowers with contrasting purple/red anthers, then again in late summer with slightly smaller flowers.

This Old Man's Beard variety is the perfect choice for containers, pergolas, trellises and even peering through garden shrubs. Height: 2.5m (8'). Spread: 1m (3'). Pruning group: 2.
A rather unique lobelia that is non-seeding, so it'll flower much longer in your summer displays.

Supplied as plug plants.
Now here?s something a little different for your garden! Sollya heterophylla is better known as the Bluebell Creeper. Its twining stems are cloaked in evergreen foliage that makes a splendid backdrop for its nodding sky blue flowers throughout summer.
A rare treat for any garden enthusiast, Acnistus australis 'Blue Angel's Trumpet' will give you a magnificent display of true blue trumpet shaped flowers during the summer. This tender, semi evergreen shrub is best suited to a conservatory or sunny patio as it will need to be brought in over the winter to protect it from frosts, but whilst it is in season it is certainly an impressive impact plant. The 2 - 3 inch (5 - 8 cm) blooms are produced in abundance and hang along the entire length of the branches, standing out beautifully against the dark green foliage. Stand a pot at the back of a flower border too and let it become the backdrop for your summer display.
