Growing Tips
To get the best from your clematis, follow these planting and care tips:
Planting Location
Choose a spot with sun or partial shade. ‘Bredon Blue’, like all Clematis appreciates cool, shaded roots and sun on its foliage, so mulch the base or underplant with low growing perennials. Make sure there is a structure that ‘Bredon Blue’ can cling too, either through another plant, wire up the fence or an archway with good support.
Soil
Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged or overly dry positions.
Pruning
This clematis falls into Pruning Group 1, meaning it requires minimal pruning. Simply tidy up by removing dead or damaged stems after flowering to maintain its shape.
Support
Provide a trellis, wire support, or natural structure to climb. Use soft ties to gently train new shoots.
