Clematis ‘Sweet Summer Love’

Product Details

The patient methods and discerning sensibility of renowned Clematis breeder Szczepan Marczynski of Poland are evident in the beautiful and abundant blossoms of award-winning Clematis ‘Sweet Summer Love,’ the first fragrant, free-flowering, multicolored Clematis. The hardy, disease-resistant vines produce masses of small blooms that change color from reddish-purple to purple then a paler violet. The flower show begins early, generally in midsummer, and continues into autumn. Mature vines reach 10-15’ high and produce hundreds of flowers in a single season, smothering trellises, fences, arbors, deck railings, or stone walls. The lovely fragrance of the flowers combines notes of almond, cherry and vanilla. ‘Sweet Summer Love’ is a winner of multiple prizes including the Green Thumb Award from the National Garden Bureau. A Proven Winners® variety. Pruning group 3. PP 24,044
