Care

Sweet Autumn Clematis Care

Clematis is known to be extremely low maintenance and requires minimum care. 

Prune to control growth as necessary. It's best to do any heavy pruning and trimming during periods of dormancy, such as late fall (after flowering) or early spring. 

Clematis is known to tolerate partial shade. Although fully capable of thriving in full sun, it does best it spots where its leaves and flowers get lots sun and its base and roots get lots of shade. 

Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. 

Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your clematis well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar such as a suitable fertilizer stake.
