Planting & Care
1. Planting: Clematis prefers to be planted deeper than other vines. Choose a full sun location and set up your trellis first. Dig an 8 to 10-inch deep hole and add compost at the bottom. Place the pot in the hole, ensuring the first leaf nodes are below ground, and remove any leaves that will be buried. Fill the hole halfway, tie the top growth to the trellis (keeping the shipping stick), and water. Finish filling with soil and water well. It's beneficial to have a low-growing plant nearby to shade its roots. Space them 4 feet apart.
2. Watering: The water requirements for this plant are moderate, indicating that it needs a balanced amount of water (not too much or too little) to thrive. The soil type is classified as normal, meaning it has a standard composition suitable for supporting plant growth, allowing for proper drainage and nutrient availability.
3. Fertilizing: For your Rebecca Clematis, apply a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or 5-10-5 formula, in early spring when you notice new growth. You can also choose an organic fertilizer that is high in phosphorus to encourage blooming. For optimal results, reapply every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.
4. Pruning: Flowering begins on old stems and later occurs on new growth. In early spring, look for swelling leaf buds and remove any dead material above them. Re-tie the stems as needed. For intertwining Clematis, select varieties with the same pruning requirements to simplify maintenance.
