Clematis

Enjoy beautiful flowers all summer!

Light

Keep foliage in the sun but roots cool with ground covers or stones.

Temperature

Clematis thrives in temperatures between 10-25°C.

Water

Ensure consistently moist soil, watering regularly, especially early on.

Fertilizer

Apply slow-release fertilizer from March to May, but not during flowering.

Most Clematis varieties bloom in spring or summer with colorful flowers, while some evergreen types add greenery in winter. They are easy to grow, perfect for terraces or balconies, and naturally climb pergolas or scaffolds. Flowers range from small and delicate to large, over 20 cm wide, in shades of white, pink, lilac, blue, and violet, with both simple and double-petaled varieties.

Pruning Tips

prune after winter to promote growth

In early spring, before new growth starts, trim dead or weak stems to encourage strong, healthy shoots. This helps the Clematis grow vigorously in the new season.

Prune after spring blooming to shape the plant

Once flowering ends, lightly trim back the plant to maintain its shape and remove spent flowers. This keeps the Clematis looking tidy and can encourage a second flush of blooms.

Dig a planting hole

Using a scoop or trowel, dig a hole about twice the size of the Clematis root ball and fill it with fresh fertilized garden soil.

Position & Prepare the Clematis

Remove the plant from its pot, loosen the roots, and tilt it slightly toward the wall or fence. Place the base of the stems 5–10 cm below ground level for stability.

Fill with Soil & Add Plant Food

Fill the hole with soil, mixing in a handful of Pokon plant food for strong growth. Press the soil down gently.

Install the Climbing Support

Attach the clear connectors to the Clematis rack, slide in the UP!Climbers support, and secure it with screws or nails.

Guide, Water & Maintain

Lightly tie the stems if needed, water generously, and regularly feed with plant food. Over time, the Clematis will naturally climb and flourish!
