Clematis Care & Maintenance
Clematis are easy to grow and maintain! It's worth taking the time to find the right spot. Plant with Nature Hills Root Booster for life-long, non-stop to help the root system access nutrients from the soil.
- Sunlight: Leaves thrive in full sun, while roots prefer partial shade. In hot climates (Zone 9), plant in the morning sun with afternoon shade.
- Soil: Requires well-drained soil that stays moist but not waterlogged. Consider using a planting mound or raised bed in poorly draining areas.
- Watering: Apply moderate, consistent water, and allow excess to drain. Mulch around the roots to maintain cool soil conditions.
- Pruning Group 3: Blooms on new wood, allowing for hard pruning each year. Trim dead growth back to live buds in early spring, leaving about six inches of healthy stems. Prune at a 45-degree angle.
- Low Maintenance: Clematis are easy to care for and long-lived!
Care and Maintenance
- Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
- Fertilizing: Use Nature Hills Root Booster at planting for long-term soil support.
- Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch mulch layer to keep roots cool and prevent water loss, but avoid direct contact with the crown.
- Pruning: In early spring, cut back to live budding stems six inches above the ground.
- Support: Use climbing support like trellises, tomato cages, or netting to guide its climbing growth.
