Watering

Deep regular watering, keeping roots cool and never chronically dry

Fertilizing

Balanced clematis feed monthly in spring, higher potash before bloom

Pruning

In late winter or early spring as buds start growing, cut old stems to the lowest healthy bud pair, about 15–30 cm above the soil. Herbaceous types may be cut near ground level in early spring or late autumn.

Propagation

Propagate by layering or semi-hardwood cuttings

Growing

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 (2-3in) deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level. See clematis cultivation
