Planting guide
Plant 5–8cm deeper than the crown to prevent clematis wilt. Keep roots shaded and cool with mulch or companion planting. Provide a sturdy support and gently guide new shoots into place as they grow.
Care tips
Minimal pruning needed—just trim after flowering if desired. Mulch in early spring and water during prolonged dry spells. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in late winter.
Winter care
This fully hardy clematis requires minimal winter care. A layer of mulch in autumn helps protect the root zone. Prune lightly after flowering if needed to control size or shape.
