Drought Tolerance Important
Your clematis is drought tolerant. However, it will not be able to flower during periods of extreme drought. You will see the plant struggle and lose leaves. When the weather cools down, the plant will revive.
As this is a Type 3 clematis, it will take a couple of months before your plant is able to flower again.
Toxicity Clematis is toxic to humans and animals when consumed. Usually, they are left untouched by animals. Our cats have always played safe around them.

Variety Specific Tips & Tricks

This clematis does not like being very wet for too long. It is susceptible to fungus growing in the roots. To help make it easier for this variety, give it partner plants to help absorb any excess water.

Beginners Care Guide

Step 1

Where to Plant

Clematis like rich, organic, and cool soil. Plant in a location where the roots are shaded and the plant has something to climb. If your location gets too much sun, cover your clematis roots with mulch or partner plants to help shade the roots.

Step 2

Watering

Clematis love water but they don't like being flooded. Water your clematis once the soil is dry and during heat waves. But do not over-water as it will lead to fungal disease. Assure good drainage and add partner plants to help absorb excess water. If you get strong heat waves, add mulch to prevent water from evaporating.

Step 3

Pruning

Pruning technique is key to maximize the number of flowers on your clematis and keep it blooming throughout summer.

Step 4

Fertilizing

Fertilizing is the secret ingredient to thousands of blooms. Clematis need regular fertilizer to keep them going. You can opt for liquid fertilizer which will need to be applied once a month during the growth season or slow release solid fertilizer, that will feed your plant through the seasons.
