Troubleshooting
Plant growth is stagnant after planting
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and that the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Flowers are sparse in the first year
Young clematis often focus their energy on root establishment in their first season; ensure consistent watering and wait for the second year for a fuller display.
Stems are becoming tangled and unruly
Use soft garden twine to gently train new growth along your chosen support structure during the growing season.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival in its 9cm pot, the plant should be transplanted into a larger container or directly into the ground in a site with well-draining soil. Choose a spot that receives plenty of sunlight to ensure maximum flowering. To care for your Clematis Montana Elizabeth, provide a sturdy support structure immediately upon planting. While generally hardy, the plant benefits from a light prune immediately after flowering if you need to restrict its spread or keep it within a specific area. As a deciduous climber, it will naturally drop its leaves as temperatures fall in October, so do not be alarmed when the stems appear bare throughout the winter months; it will return with fresh foliage in the spring.
