Care:
Thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun or part shade. Ideally, Clematis prefer having their 'heads in the sun and their feet in the shade'. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base.
Soil:
Clematis is at its best in rich soils with good drainage. It prefers a neutral soil, so check pH and add lime if needed.
Water:
Regular watering is desirable, especially during seasonal dry periods. Clematis is deep-rooted, so water thoroughly.
Pruning:
This group blooms later and from new growth. These should be pruned in February or March as new leaf buds begin to show low on the plant. Also remove all dead material above the buds and clean out any old or mildewed foliage at this time.
