Clematis × 'Stand By Me' is a non-vining, herbaceous clematis that gives you the charm of bell-shaped clematis flowers without the need for a tall trellis. You get a compact, bushy plant with nodding blue blooms that show well above the foliage, then attractive seedheads as the season progresses.

Plant it where it can enjoy sun to part shade, with soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. A layer of mulch helps keep roots cool and soil moisture steady. In hotter exposures, give it some afternoon shade for best flower and foliage quality.

At maturity, it typically reaches about 34-38" tall and spreads roughly 24-36". Because it is not a true climber, it may lean as stems elongate; a small cage, peony ring, or neighboring plant can provide light support and keep the plant looking upright and neat.

Like many herbaceous clematis, it dies back to the ground each fall. In spring, remove old stems as new growth starts, then water during dry spells, especially the first season. Feed lightly in spring, and enjoy an easy perennial clematis that fits beautifully into borders and mixed beds.
