Application: It climbs wonderfully on pergolas, fences, walls, gazebos, trellises, and natural supports such as coniferous trees, deciduous trees, shrubs, and small bushes.

Blooming: Twice; once at the turn of May and June, and again in August–September.

Exposure: South, West, and East.

Care: Plant the clematis 10 cm deeper than it grew in the pot and at least 30 cm away from other plants or walls. Mulch the soil around the plant with bark. Provide some shade at the base using, for example, low-growing shrubs, and before winter cover the base with bark up to 10–20 cm high. It grows best in fertile, humus-rich, well-draining soils rich in calcium (pH 6–7). Begin fertilizing in April and water intensively during the growing season.

Pruning: Since the spring bloom appears on last year’s shoots, at the turn of February and March remove dead and diseased shoots, and lightly trim the healthy ones – in the first year after planting, cut about 30 cm above the strong buds; in the second year, about 70 cm; and in subsequent years, about 150 cm above the ground.
