Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Give this plant at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure the most vibrant and abundant blooms. While it can handle partial shade, too much shade often results in fewer flowers and slower growth.
  • Soil: This Clematis thrives in rich, well-drained soil that holds moisture without staying soggy. If you are working with heavy clay, mix in compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" can quickly rot the roots.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water deeply and frequently to help the extensive root system establish itself in its new home. Once established, the plant is moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture often causes stress that leads to smaller flowers or browning foliage. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist, similar to the dampness of a wrung-out sponge.

Pruning Tips

Sapphire Indigo blooms on both old and new wood, so you should focus on light pruning in late winter or early spring. Simply trim away any dead or weak stems down to the first pair of healthy, plump buds you see. This technique, often called "tidying up," preserves the old wood for early flowers while stimulating strong new growth for the rest of the season.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced granular fertilizer or a formula made for roses in early spring just as new green growth begins to appear. You can feed it again lightly after the first wave of blooms finishes to fuel the summer show. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the season, as they encourage leafy green growth at the expense of flowers and can leave the plant vulnerable to winter damage.

Clematis Care & Maintenance

Plant the easy-to-grow Sapphire Indigo™ Clematis in sun or shade, preferring fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Sun Needs: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade but hot growing zones will find their vines appreciating afternoon shade.

Pruning Group 2: In early spring, prune down to live buds to encourage new growth and abundant blooms.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges.

Mulching: Ensure the roots remain cool and shaded, which can be achieved with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch or planting low-growing groundcovers at the base.

Climbing Support: Provide climbing support for climbing, and water regularly, especially during dry periods.
