Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This Clematis performs best with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to fuel those large, purple blooms. While it can handle partial shade (especially in hotter climates), full sun generally produces the most vigorous flowering. The key trademark of Clematis is that while they love "hot heads" (sun on vines), they need "cool feet" (shade on roots).
Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil that holds moisture without staying soggy. If you have heavy clay, amend it with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and prevent root rot. These vines prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline soil pH, so if your soil is very acidic, adding a bit of garden lime can be helpful.

Watering Requirements

Consistency is key, especially during the first year while the plant establishes its root system. Keep the soil evenly moist—checking it a few times a week—rather than letting it cycle between soaking wet and bone dry. Once established, "Lindsay" is moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering will often result in smaller flowers or browned leaf edges. A good layer of mulch around the base helps retain that essential moisture and keeps the roots cool.

Pruning Tips

"Lindsay" is a Group 2 Clematis, meaning it blooms on both "old wood" (last year's growth) and "new wood" (current season's growth). Avoid cutting it back to the ground in spring, or you will lose the first flush of flowers. Instead, think of it like a light trim: in late winter or early spring, simply remove any dead or weak stems and cut the remaining healthy vines back just slightly to a pair of strong, swollen buds. After the first wave of blooms fades in early summer, you can lightly prune again to encourage a second show of color later in the season.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed your Clematis with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a rose/tomato food in early spring when you see new green growth appearing. You can apply a second light dose after the first blooming cycle to support the late-summer rebloom. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers (often used for lawns) late in the season; these encourage rapid leafy growth that is weak and susceptible to winter damage, rather than promoting flowers.
