This stunning clematis is covered with hundreds, maybe thousands of flowers from summer into fall. It produces lovely flowers that start raspberry red, change to purple and then mature to violet in color. All three colors will appear simultaneously giving the appearance that one plant is three plants. The flowers have an alluring cherry vanilla scent. Be sure to plant Sweet Summer Love Clematis Vine near windows in your home that you frequently open or adjacent to a porch, patio or deck where you spend time outdoors to be able to enjoy the lovely scent.
Clematis vines love to climb so grow this plant on a sturdy trellis, arbor, obelisk, mailbox post or fence. It can be grown in a container with a trellis but will need to be cut back if it outgrows the trellis. The four-petaled 2-inch flowers stand out against its dark green leaves. It can also be used as a groundcover under roses and shrubs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
