Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Clematis grow best in a rich, moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun. Protection from intense afternoon sun is beneficial. Large flowering bi-colours, reds and blues, may fade quickly if planted in direct sun. Roots need a cool environment to thrive; it is recommended to plant a ground cover or shallow-rooted perennial to shade the roots; mulching is suggested. Plant the crown 3-5 cm below the soil's surface. Clematis are slow to establish and initially need to be tied to a trellis or fence to begin climbing.

Additional Notes about Ayako Clematis:

Clematis are grouped into three different categories for pruning and maintenance:

Group 1: Early bloomers (April-May) -Flower buds are produced in the previous growing season. Prune soon after flowering to allow the plants to develop next year's flower buds. Avoid cutting into the old woody stems.
