Its richly coloured blooms create an impressive display against fresh green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding colour and vertical interest to the garden.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nProducing flowers approximately 18–23cm across, ‘Lasurstern’ is particularly striking when in full bloom. The large, lavender-blue flowers make a beautiful feature when trained over trellises, archways or other garden structures.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFlowering from late spring through to autumn, this attractive Clematis provides an extended season of colour under suitable growing conditions. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it particularly well suited to covering fences, climbing frames and established garden supports.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrowing up to 3 metres high, ‘Lasurstern’ works beautifully in cottage-style gardens, mixed borders and alongside other climbing plants. Its lavender-blue flowers complement white, pink and soft purple flowering varieties.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs a deciduous climber, ‘Lasurstern’ loses its foliage during winter before producing fresh growth and flowers as the weather warms.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 2.5–3 metres high, with spread depending on the support and growing conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun to part shade, ideally in a position receiving morning sunlight with protection from harsh afternoon sun. In Melbourne gardens, a sheltered position can help protect the large flowers during hot summer weather.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nClematis ‘Lasurstern’ prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep the roots cool by applying mulch around the base or planting low-growing companion plants nearby.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWater regularly during establishment and maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the warmer months, particularly while the plant is actively growing and flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nApply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPruning Group 2: Clematis ‘Lasurstern’ flowers on both previous season's growth and new growth. Lightly prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or damaged stems and trimming remaining growth back to strong, healthy buds.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAvoid hard pruning, as this can reduce the early flowering display. A light trim after the first flush of flowers may encourage further flowering later in the season.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nProvide a sturdy trellis, climbing frame or other suitable support for its vigorous growth. Clematis climbs by wrapping its leaf stalks around slender supports, so fine trellis or garden wire attached to a strong structure is particularly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Trellises and climbing frames\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Garden arches and obelisks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Fences and garden structures\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Cottage-style gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Mixed perennial borders\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Growing alongside climbing roses\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Adding vertical garden interest\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Blue and lavender-themed garden designs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Extra-large flowering displays\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Late spring to autumn flowering colour\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Creating height in established gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Covering larger garden supports\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68322074984699,"sku":"cleml20","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/39661_Laurestem.jpg?v=1792042814","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/clematis-lasurstem-20cm-pot","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
