Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Picardy™ Clematis needs at least four to six hours of direct sun daily for the best flower production; it can handle more light, but you must ensure the roots remain cool. The classic trick is "head in the sun, feet in the shade," so plant low perennials or lay flat stones at the base of the vine to shade the root zone.
Soil: Clematis is a heavy feeder that requires rich, well-draining soil with a neutral pH. If you are dealing with common heavy clay, amend the entire planting area generously with compost and peat moss to ensure proper drainage. For sandy soils, use copious amounts of organic matter to help the area retain the necessary moisture.

Watering Requirements

For the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist to allow the deep roots to fully establish themselves, watering slowly and deeply rather than frequently. Once your plant is mature, it gains moderate drought tolerance, but for a solid display of blooms, water deeply whenever the top couple of inches of soil begin to feel dry. Inconsistent watering will quickly stress the plant, resulting in smaller flowers and a reduction in the desirable rebloom.

Pruning Tips

This cultivar is a Group 2 clematis, meaning it flowers first on old wood and again later on new growth. In late winter or early spring, before the buds swell, perform a light trim by simply removing any dead, broken, or weak stems and lightly shaping the vine. The why for this method is that a light touch encourages the first, heavy flush of blooms from the previous year's stems while preserving enough energy for the second round of flowers on the new growth.

Fertilizer Needs

Picardy™ Clematis requires a consistent supply of nutrients, so apply a balanced, granular fertilizer in early spring as new growth starts. To support the repeat blooming habit, follow up with a complete liquid feed every four to six weeks from late spring through mid-summer. What to avoid: never fertilize with a high-nitrogen blend late in the season, because this will push tender growth that is unlikely to survive the coming winter.
