The soil should be kept moist, and the plants should receive deep watering. After the end of the growing season, remove all clematis leaves, flower buds, or other parts. The roots, stems and leaves should be removed before winter as they can spread infection.
A wall or support is required to plant clematis. The majority of clematis types don't need to be staked, but they do require support for vining. Vining clematis, such as clematis 'Stella', will grow in a natural way, wrapping their leaf stems around support structures of about half an inch in diameter. Thinner supports are needed for larger objects such as a wall, arbor, or lamp post.
To encourage branching, you should prune new clematis trees to a height around 12-18inches. You won't have to prune the stems of clematis for the first 2 years. However, if they are producing the most new growth, you may need to trim them to 12-18 inches. A healthy clematis will bloom more often in the future, regardless of how much pruning is done.
