Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant with the crown 5–8cm below soil level in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the roots cool by mulching or planting low ground cover around the base. Provide a sturdy support for it to climb and train the stems as they grow.

Care tips

Prune after flowering if necessary to maintain shape. Mulch in spring with compost or well-rotted manure. Water well during dry spells, particularly in the first couple of years after planting.

Winter care

Clematis 'Rubens Superba' is fully hardy and requires minimal winter care. Simply mulch around the base to protect roots and prune lightly in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth.
