'Sweet Summer Love Clematis' from Proven Winners® has it all: the flowers, the fragrance, the sturdiness, the ease of growth and the drama for your garden. Cranberry-violet blooms start in July in the Midwest and Northeast and last until mid-September. 

  • 10-15 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 4-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
  • Space plants 6-10 feet apart for best results

  • Maintains green foliage spring through frost
  • Blooms on new wood

  • Long blooming

Care: Best in full sun or light shade, keep base and roots completely shaded. "Feet in the shade, head in the sun" is a saying you may have heard for successfully growing clematis, so plant it where the vine gets sunshine, but the roots stay cool. You can accomplish this with mulch, or by shading the root zone with a nearby shrub or perennial. Hard prune to 2 feet in spring as new growth emerges. Leave at least two pairs of buds on each stem.  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.
