Our Tips & Recommendations

Planting Tip

Clematis love "cool feet, warm heads." Mulch the root zone well and position so the vine can climb into sunlight. Plant the crown 2–3 inches below soil level.

Pruning by Group

Know your pruning group! Group 1 blooms on old wood (light trim after flowering), Group 2 is light prune in late winter, Group 3 gets a hard prune to 12 inches in early spring.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first year. A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
