Clematis Care & Maintenance
Plant yours with Nature Hills Root Booster for life-long root system symbiotic support.
- Sunlight: Grows best in full sun while keeping roots shaded. Plants in hot growing zones appreciate afternoon shade.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained alkaline soil with plenty of root space.
- Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially in hot climates.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth.
- Mulching: Apply 3-4 inches of mulch around the base of the plant, but prevent it from being piled up against the stems.
- Pruning Group 2: Flowers on both old and new wood. Groom after the first bloom by cutting back one-third to one-half of some stems after flowering.
- Support: Provide sturdy structures such as trellises, fences, or arbors to support climbing growth.
