Variety Specific Tips & Tricks
Beginners Care Guide
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.
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.
Pruning
Pruning technique is key to maximize the number of flowers on your clematis and keep it blooming throughout summer.
