Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-draining soil and full to partial sun for optimal growth. Clematis prefer cool root zones and should either be mulched well or planted so that the roots are in the shade of another plant. Provide a trellis or structure for the plant to grow up. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Spread a layer of mulch after planting.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to ensure healthy blossoms.

3. Pruning: Prune in early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged wood. This helps promote new growth and a fuller appearance.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every spring to support healthy growth and prolific blooming throughout the summer months.
