Clematis flammula 'Sweet Summer Love' is a recent award-winning cultivar. The flowers are small, single, and pleasantly scented, with purple-violet petals that are beautifully complemented by the white reverse and stamens. The abundance of these flowers transforms the plant into a colourful mist. The flowering occurs early in the season and lasts a long time. It is ideal when planted alongside a bush, in a container, or even as a ground cover.
Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. Clematis flammula, from which this variety originates, is found mainly around the Mediterranean and occasionally in northern regions. 'Sweet Summer Love' is a beautiful variant with remarkable colours and abundant flowering. However, its hardiness is moderate (maximum -15°C (5°F)), and it may freeze in the coldest regions when winters are severe. It is a semi-woody, climbing perennial plant that can reach a height of 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft), with a spread of 1m (3ft).
Â
This clematis bears small, fragrant, star-shaped flowers measuring 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in diameter. They appear on new growth from June to September. The flowers have 4 purple-violet tepals with white reverses. The centre of the flower is adorned with white stamens and pink anthers. The flowering is followed by decorative silvery-grey feathery fruits that persist until winter. The leaves are single and entire, with a shiny dark green colour. This clematis clings to supports or host plants using petioles transformed into tendrils.
Â
Plant your clematis alongside roses to hide unsightly walls or to adorn a pergola, a fence, or an old tree. This genus is rich in diversity, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. This variety is of moderate size and will be perfect both in the garden and in large containers. Its numerous tendrils allow it to climb anywhere, so consider using it to cascade in a warm rockery. These lovely climbers add a romantic and bohemian touch to your garden with minimal maintenance.

Botanical data
Clematis 'Sweet Summer Love' will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded position under a tree. Plant it in fertile, humus-bearing, well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). The clematis wilts in excessively moist soil. Work the soil to a depth of 20cm (8in), and lighten it with good compost and coarse sand. Position the plant and cover the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. After planting, prune the clematis shoots to about 30cm (12in) above a pair of buds. Water generously and regularly during the first few weeks. Do not overwater as this can lead to the development of a fungus at the collar.
Mulch all clematis in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems.
Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant can cling on its own. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants.
After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, to reduce the risk of wilting, while promoting the emergence of vigorous shoots from the stump.
Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests.
As its hardiness is moderate, protect the base in winter.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
