Clematis Care & Maintenance
Plant Crystal Fountain™ in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Choose a location with full sun to part shade, ensuring the roots remain cool and shaded, which can be achieved by mulching or planting low-growing groundcovers at the base.
Provide a support structure for climbing, and water regularly, especially during dry periods. In late winter or early spring, prune lightly to remove dead or weak stems, and after the first flush of flowers, prune again to encourage a second bloom.
