New Love Clematis Shrub

A Clematis Variety That Blooms on New Wood

Blue-purple blooms in a classic, easy-growing package elevate the New Love Clematis Shrub. But this perennial is even better than the timeless vine you love – it forms a bushy, upright silhouette that’s self-supporting, perfect for elevating plant beds and beyond.

Basically, it’s super versatile. Star-shaped, indigo-hued florals dance up the non-climbing masses of foliage and growth on the New Love. And the petals emerge and then curl back into a unique look, blooming from late spring to summer and again in the early fall.

Plus, its sweet fragrance attracts graceful wildlife, like bees and hummingbirds. And since it blooms on new wood, unlike many other Clematis varieties, you won’t have to spend time pruning or trimming to get results.

But the best part is that it combines the best of both worlds. With good looks and easygoing benefits, the New Love makes a statement. Especially since we’ve planted, grown and nurtured each New Love Clematis Shrub before it leaves our nursery. Now, when it arrives at your door, it arrives with healthy, well-developed roots and a head start on growth…so, no green thumb is no problem.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select an area with full sun to partial shade (4 to 8 hours of sunlight) and well-drained soil or select a container with drainage holes for planting. Once you’ve got your location (or your container, which should be twice the size of the shipped container), dig a hole that’s around twice the size of your plant’s root ball and just as deep. Then, place your shrub, tamp down the soil and water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Generally, it’s ideal to check your surrounding soil about 2 to 3 inches down for dryness. If the soil is dry at this depth, it’s time to water. Watering about once or twice weekly is a good rule of thumb for your New Love.

3. Pruning: After your plant has completed blooming for the year, prune back the shrub for shaping and fuller blooming the next season. Any dead or damaged areas can be removed throughout the year for best results.
