Easily grown in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Most clematis prefer full sun, but this cultivar tolerates part shade. Roots should be kept cool (shade with annuals or perennials and/or use a 2" mulch) and uniformly moist. Cut back hard in early spring to a pair of buds that are 9-18" above ground.
