Clematis 'Stand By Me'

This Proven Winners® clematis is a beautiful non-vining herbaceous flower. It is adorned with gorgeous blue flowers shaped like small blue bells. You will not be the only one who loves these flowers - butterflies, bees, and other pollinators adore love these flowers.

Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply a generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Very reliable performers once established, they take a season or two to get going.

These blue bell blooms stand out beautifully against the rich green foliage. Spread them through your beds and borders for visual interest. Or use them in baskets and containers for stunning additions to your porch or deck. However you use them 'Stand by Me' will thrive.
