Beginners Care Guide

Step 1

Where to Plant

Clematis like rich, organic, and cool soil. Plant in a location where the roots are shaded and the plant has something to climb. If your location gets too much sun, cover your clematis roots with mulch or partner plants to help shade the roots.

Step 2

Watering

Clematis love water but they don't like being flooded. Water your clematis once the soil is dry and during heat waves. But do not over-water as it will lead to fungal disease. Assure good drainage and add partner plants to help absorb excess water. If you get strong heat waves, add mulch to prevent water from evaporating.

Step 3

Pruning

Pruning technique is key to maximize the number of flowers on your clematis and keep it blooming throughout summer.

Step 4

Fertilizing

Fertilizing is the secret ingredient to thousands of blooms. Clematis need regular fertilizer to keep them going. You can opt for liquid fertilizer which will need to be applied once a month during the growth season or slow release solid fertilizer, that will feed your plant through the seasons.
