'Multi Blue' has attractive navy blue, double flowers. These appear all summer long, although ones produced towards the end of the season may be semi-double. The plant's compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens and growing in containers. To prune, remove any dead or weak stems in late winter or early spring and cut remaining stems back to the highest pair of strong-growing buds. To encourage blooms to cover the whole plant, train the stems so that they are evenly spaced on their support. As new growth appears in mid-spring, train this to fill any gaps. Plant in a sheltered position that is not north-facing.
