Clematis 'Beautiful Bride' · Clematis 'Beautiful Bride'
Plant in a moisture-retentive, well-drained soil, with the roots and base of the plant kept cool and shaded by other plants or a layer of pebbles at the base. Plant with the crown 5-8cm deep to encourage shoots to grow from below ground level. Good for scrambling up trees in a naturalistic setting. See clematis cultivation
In late winter or early spring, remove weak or dead growth above healthy bud pairs without heavy pruning. After the first summer flowers, shorten some shoots to strong buds or sideshoots below the flowers to encourage another flush.
