A late flowering jackmanii descendant, this treasured 1874 introduction was raised by John Standish and named for Ascot, the English town where it originated. Well-formed, clear medium blue blooms include greenish chocolate-colored anthers plus 4 to 6 tepals that initially unfold with a glamorous, metallic deeper blue-mauve luster. Affording late season color, the large bountiful flowers populate most of the stem and stage a lovely presentation in a patio pot. Hearty, deciduous and reliable, ‘Ascotiensis’ can complement red or yellow roses, scale small trees and shrubs or grace a trellis.
