Clematis New Love

Clematis ‘New Love’ is a herbaceous, non-climbing Clematis — elegant and softly scented. It's a bushy, deciduous sub-shrub boasting small clusters of purple-blue, tubular flowers along its stems. Blooming profusely from mid-summer to early fall, the blossoms stand out against the backdrop of large, mid-green leaves. This herbaceous clematis forms and attractive open bush and sends up stems that are self-supporting and stay beautifully upright. New Love clematis flowers on new wood. It's excellent in patio containers and is also very suitable in perennial borders, for mass planting and combined with other plants. For maintenance, cut back to 4–6 inches in late winter/early spring (Pruning Group C) and deadhead for tidier appearance and prolonged bloom.
