Clematis can be planted as soon as the ground is workable. Like bulbs, clematis will react to the seasons with root growth in the summer and fall and top growth in the spring.
Plant in an area with sufficient light and a well drained soil mix. We recommend digging a 18" by 18" (45cm x 45cm x 45cm) hole and covering the bottom with a mix of rich compost and bone meal. Cover the compost mix with top soil before planting in the hole. Your watered clematis should be planted so that there is 6" (15cm) of stem below the final soil level. The stem should be ripe before burying it so if there is any uncertainty of this, leave the final fill until later in the season.
Most varieties will do well in containers but plant growth and size will depend on the size of the container used and frequency of watering. It is important to include some sort of trellis, sweet pea netting, or cedar stakes to be used as a support system. When planting Clematis in containers, make sure to use something with several drainage holes in the bottom.
Clematis have three main pruning groups that we have simplified as A, B, and C. These groups are based on where the Clematis grows its new flowers. Follow our quick guide below to see when and where you should be pruning your established Clematis vines after their flowering season.
| Group | A | B (1 & 2) | C |
| Flower Time | Spring |
Early Summer and Repeat Blooms B1 (Heavy blooms on old growth in May - June followed by a smaller flush on new growth in September) B2 (Blooms simultaneously on old and new growth from June to September) |
Late Summer |
| Flowers on | Old wood | Old & new wood | New wood |
| When to Prune | After flowering (Summer) | After flowering (Fall / Winter) | After flowering (Winter / Spring) |
| Where to Prune | Cut out weak or dead stems. | Light pruning with variation in length in late Feb. or March. Remove weak or dead wood. | Cut back to two strong sets of buds as close to soil level as possible. |

"It is already flowering. This is the 1rst time I bought plants from your place. This plant ìs small but is growing really & has already has 2 flowers on it. Love the purple colour of the flower. Every single plant & seeds I bought has grown & flowered unlike Brecks which is hit & miss. I will be buying my plants from your place going forward. Thank you."

"I picked up my small starter plant in March and it is growing up the trellis with vigour. No flowers yet, which doesn't disturb me. I'm sure it will flower later in this season and next year will be covered with flowers in May, like the Sea Breeze baby clematis I got last year. I like getting these very small plants as I find they adjust to their new location faster than buy a large clematis."
