Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a spot with well-drained soil and ensure it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. 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: Water regularly during dry spells to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Adequate moisture encourages thriving growth.

3. Pruning: Very little pruning is required. If needed, prune just after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth for the next season.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and abundant blooms.
