Stand by Me Bush Clematis

This non-vining, herbaceous perennial forms an upright bush reaching about 3 feet tall. It features nodding, blue bell-shaped flowers from late spring into summer, followed by attractive, creamy, thread-like seed heads. The broad green foliage often has bronze undersides on new growth. Ideal for borders or containers, it thrives in full sun to part shade with cool, shaded roots. While it doesn't climb, it benefits from light support like staking or neighboring plants.
