Growing Tips
Best Position
Clematis macropetala prefers a sunny or partially shaded site. It tolerates more shade than many other clematis and is perfect for north or east-facing walls.
Soil Preparation
Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Enrich the planting hole with compost or well-rotted organic matter. Avoid dry, shallow soils or waterlogged conditions.
Support & Training
Provide a trellis, obelisk, shrub, or archway for support. It will twine naturally but may need a little guidance in the early stages.
Pruning
Group 1 Clematis – No regular pruning required. Simply tidy up after flowering in late spring by removing any dead or straggly stems. Avoid cutting hard unless rejuvenating an old plant.
Winter Care
Fully hardy and perfect for exposed gardens or colder climates. Apply mulch in autumn to protect roots and conserve moisture, especially in dry winters.
