Ideally, this Hydrangea loves to have morning sun and then some partial shade from the hot afternoon sun. They will not flower well if they are grown in full shade, so they do need that morning sun to make the best bloom. An east side of a home or building, or a larger tree is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide rich, well-drained soils for your Hydrangeas. If your soil stays wet after a rainfall, add additional soil in a mound 18 - 24 inches above the native soil. Plant directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive your plants a regular schedule of moderate water. Use a thick layer of mulch to cover the base of the plant to keep the root system moist.

Reduce any of the branch tips that may have been winter-damaged from the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the older, thicker stems finish blooming in summer, you may want to remove those old stems out to the ground, leaving the younger stems to push forth the second flush of blooms. Removing the oldest stems after their yearly bloom will easily rejuvenate your plant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn colder hardiness zones, there can be some winter damage. Established plants are best protected like you might a Rose bush by waiting for the plants to go dormant, and then piling up a mound of mulch over the top of the plant by a foot or so. In the late spring, pull the mulch away as the weather warms up. Then prune back any dead tops and it should grow nicely from the covered stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most Hydrangea bushes, soil acidity will affect the bloom color. The blooms start out white and they will fade to light pink in alkaline soil and light blue in acidic soil, so adjust your soil accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature size of the plants can vary somewhat based on the climate the soil type, and the amount of water available to the plant. They like areas with good air circulation and soil moisture, but not necessarily overhead irrigation. Use drip irrigation when you can to keep the soil moist, but not the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy your long relationship with the beautiful Endless Summer® Blushing Bride Hydrangea.

If your soil is rocky, poor, rely on this scented plant throughout your sunny spots. No need to amend the soil, as they are quite rugged and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, if your soil retains water for a long time after a rainfall...plant them in raised beds or in containers. You'll still love the look, and elevating their roots will help increase the drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse single plants as mounded specimens in a rock garden. The gray-green foliage looks fantastic, softening up the south side of large boulders. In the warmest climates, the foliage remains evergreen for year-round interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a marvelously memorable path or front walkway by running a low hedge of multiple plants along the edge of a high-traffic area. \u003cstrong\u003eYou and your guests will savor the fragrance as you brush against these plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclude these herbaceous perennials in your Backyard Orchard, or Victory Garden. Create a Knot Garden as a special garden feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpacing your Lavender plants in a hedge is an art form. To achieve the classic look, you'll want to do two things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, allow your plants to develop into their full, mounded form and receive enough air circulation. Second, have the fragrant foliage just brush against its neighbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant them 18 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Mulch between the plants with wood chips, or use landscape gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd additional rows staggered off-center from each other for a mass planting. If you'll harvest the flowers for a home business, create long, orderly rows like the professionals do. Expand the distance between rows to 42 inches apart for easy access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEven small-space gardeners can enjoy the lavish look and scent of these beloved plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The more sunlight, the more blooms it will produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best performance, plant in poor soil with sharp drainage. Do not amend your soil, and plant in containers or raised beds, if needed to improve drainage. You can also add additional soil in a heap 12 inches tall and plant in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePay careful attention to watering only during the first year as it gets established in your landscape.

However, the leaf stalks of Sweet Autumn Clematis twine best around narrow supports; so you may need to add garden mesh first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall your structure first before you plant. They'll happily climb up trellises, poles, trees and garden structures like obelisks and towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's easy to add height, color and a charming vertical accent with their help!\u003c\/strong\u003e There is nothing so refreshing as a glass of iced tea sitting under a vine-covered pergola or arbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Autumn Clematis is especially wonderful growing up and over a garden gate\u003c\/strong\u003e. Treat yourself like royalty, and capture the imagination of all who pass under their fleecy, fragrant flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's easy to start them moving horizontally, too. Let them grow through an old chain link fence to improve their looks and add green!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGently weave the youngest growth in and out through the holes. Although you can trim them back, you might consider leaving a little of the past growth, as they'll scramble along that without any fuss or muss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people swear by using this climber as a spreading groundcover. Fill a barren slope with a romantic sweep, planting every ten feet and mulching underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis plant is magical on a large property\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it can self-seed.

The new name is Clematis terniflora and it's the same showy, scented vine you know so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Clematis, this fragrant variety likes full sun on the foliage, and shade on their root zone. You'll be pleased to know that Sweet Autumn Clematis flowers better than most, even in part shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it loamy, somewhat moist, well-drained soil. Add a few handfuls of compost and Nature Hills Root Booster while planting Clematis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply at least three inches of wood mulch around the base of your Sweet Autumn Clematis. Then, pull it away from directly touching the stems for good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrune this variety hard late fall to eliminate seeding, or do it in early spring before it starts to grow. They thrive and bloom on new wood, so cut these twining vines down to six inches and remove the old growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep your Clematis tidy by pruning as often as you like. You'll encourage reblooming with this easy task, as well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch out for nitrogen fertilizers designed for lawns.
