Product Details
Part of a series of Bush Clematis, the charming Clematis ‘Stand by Me Pink’ produces copious four-petalled, lavender-pink blooms in late spring followed by intermittent bloom throughout summer and into fall. The wide green leaves form an attractive background for the distinctive blooms. Unlike traditional vining Clematis, ‘Stand by Me Pink’ is an herbaceous plant that dies back to the ground completely in winter, re-emerging in spring to climb more than 3’ tall and appreciates support from a cage, stakes, or sturdy neighboring plants. A Proven Winners® variety. Pruning group 3. PPAF

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Growing guide
Latin Name Pronunciation: klem'uh-tis
CULTURE: Full sun or partial shade (afternoon shade is required in the South). Evenly moist but well-drained garden soil.
Rather than climbing straight up, these Clematis have a more upright, clump-forming habit. You may wish to provide support by pushing twiggy branches into the soil near the crown of the plant in early spring or placing grow-through supports (such as available for Peonies) around the crown. You may prefer to allow the plants to ramble onto neighboring plants or along the ground or stone walls.
Prune back to 6–12″ stems in very early spring cutting just above a pair of healthy buds (plants that are pruned hard will generally bloom later but more profusely than those allowed to grow unchecked). Fertilize once, in early spring, with an all-purpose fertilizer or a time-released variety. Like their climbing relatives, these Clematis want a cool root run, so plant lower-growing plants to shade their roots rather than mulching heavily.
