Planting and care

In a sunny location, shade the base of your plant with a ground cover plant or a perennial geranium as clematis plants like to have their feet in the shade. Plant your clematis by with the root ball covered with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in soil that has been worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), enriched with good compost. In the first few weeks, water generously and regularly. Clematis plants cling on their own thanks to their tendrils. To promote their growth, provide them with trellis support or help them climb the trunk of a tree by placing a wire mesh. Clematis plants also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants. Only prune if necessary, after flowering in June, leaving at least one metre above the ground.
