Clematis – Stand By Me Bush Clematis
2023 PERENNIAL OF THE YEAR
Thousands of Open Bell Flowers Bloom Nonstop Until Frost!
Stand By Me Bush Clematis paints the garden with gorgeous bell-shaped flowers for months. In spring masses of clear blue, adorable flowers adorn its 1-2′ tall stems, looking like perfect little hats for garden fairies. This strong bloom continues well through June. It continues to flower with a lighter bloom for the remainder of the summer into October. Its fantastic flowers, tremendous vigor, and proven performance make it a superior variety we strongly recommend. Even though it shares similar flowers with climbing Clematis, Bush Clematis does not climb and is used as a perennial or perennial ground cover in the garden.
A Sugar Creek gardener reported:
Once it started blooming, it never stopped! It just kept blooming, blooming, and blooming well into October.
Bush-type Clematis benefit from staking or support from neighboring plants. Stand By Me Clematis will work well as a rambling ground cover if given no support. A great choice for planting under vining Clematis where it can use the already established support system. It also looks fabulous against fences or, if given support, a striking focal point in garden beds. Versatile in containers, Stand By Me will make a delightful trailer or be a stately centerpiece if staked. You and butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other important pollinators will be delighted by its continuous bloom.
Named 2023 Perennial of the Year for its many outstanding qualities.
Plant in rich soil or soil that has been amended with organic matter. This Clematis prefers full sun to light shade. For best results keep consistently watered, especially when plants are setting up buds and blooming.
