Planting & Care

• Grow clematis with their face in the sun and feet in the shade for best results
• Prune summer and fall blooming clematis, if needed, during the dormant season. I prefer to wait until late winter so I can enjoy the winter interest and for increased winter hardiness.
• Early spring bloomers flower on the previous years growth and should be pruned, if needed, after flowering
• This vine attaches by twining petioles

Problems

Stem rot and wilt can be fatal.
