Product Information

Grow in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Vining hybrids are best sited in locations where the flowering parts of the vine are in sun to part shade but the roots are shaded. Some light afternoon shade is usually beneficial in hot and humid summer climates such as the St. Louis area. Clematis vines need a trellis or other support on which to grow. Roots should be kept cool, shaded and uniformly moist. Root areas may be shaded with perennials, annuals or small shrubs. A thick root mulch is appreciated. Do not allow soils to dry out.

'Silver Moon' is pruned as Group 2. See pruning instructions below. View full details

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.
