Clematis 'New Love' (PBR)
herbaceous clematis (group 3)
This herbaceous clematis forms an open bush, that looks wonderful when allowed to drift through the mixed or herbaceous border. For several weeks from midsummer, Clematis 'New Love' is covered with deliciously scented, hyacinth-like, lavender-blue flowers, which really stand out against the backdrop of the lobed green leaves.
How to care for Clematis New Love (PBR):
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where that the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or pebbles.
This clematis is herbaceous and will die back during the winter - remove spent stems and foliage to the ground in February, and apply a thick layer of mulch to suppress weeds, feed the soil, and keep the root area moist and cool for the growing season ahead.
Use twiggy prunings, ring stakes or bamboo canes to provide support.
