Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sun daily. While this clematis tolerates partial shade, the truest pink colors and heaviest bloom production happen when the vine is basking in the sun. Remember the classic clematis rule: "Head in the sun, feet in the shade," so use a nearby groundcover or a layer of mulch to keep the roots cool.
  • Soil: This vine is adaptable, but thrives in moist, well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, amend the area deeply with compost or coir to improve drainage; for sandy soil, adding compost helps retain the moisture this plant loves without becoming waterlogged.

Watering Requirements

During the first season, deep, regular watering is critical for establishing a robust root system. Once mature, Alaina is reasonably drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture is key to repeat blooming; if the soil gets too dry, you’ll see smaller flowers and reduced stress tolerance, making the plant more susceptible to problems like Clematis Wilt. Always water deeply at the base, keeping the leaves dry, and apply a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch to maintain even soil temperature and moisture.

Pruning Tips

Boulevard® Alaina™ is a Group 2 clematis, meaning it blooms first on old wood (last year's growth) and then reblooms on new wood. Your main pruning should happen in late winter or early spring before new growth starts; simply remove any dead or weak stems and lightly cut back the remaining live stems to the strongest pair of buds to preserve those early flower-setting old-wood buds. A second, lighter pruning after the first flush of flowers—cutting back just below the spent blooms—encourages the plant to push out new growth and give you a lovely late-season encore.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer, or a specialty clematis fertilizer, early each spring just as new growth begins. Alternatively, you can feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month throughout the spring and early summer growing season. What to avoid: do not feed your clematis with high-nitrogen fertilizer late in the season, as this encourages soft vegetative growth that is easily damaged by early winter cold, instead of hardening off properly.
