Growing Tips
Planting Location
Thrives in full sun to partial shade. A sheltered position with roots kept cool and shaded is ideal for best growth and flowering.
Soil
Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged conditions.
Pruning
As a Group 1 clematis, it requires only light pruning immediately after flowering to maintain shape and remove any leggy or damaged stems.
Support
Needs a strong support structure such as a trellis, pergola, fence, or arch. Gently train new shoots with soft ties to encourage even coverage and establish a balanced framework.
