Care Guide
Watering
Watering your Clematis (Clematis jouiniana) can be as simple as 1, 2, 3. 1. Start by giving your plant a deep watering once a week. A deep drink of water will help your Clematis to establish a healthy and deep root system. 2. For the remainder of the week, your Clematis can receive shallow but frequent waterings. When the top few inches of soil are dry to the touch, it's time to water again. 3. Lastly, make sure to water your Clematis in the morning. This will give the plant plenty of time to absorb the moisture before the heat of the day. In general, avoid over-watering your Clematis. The soil should remain moist but never soggy. Water when the top of the soil feels dry and, if possible, avoid getting the foliage wet.
Light
Clematis jouiniana needs at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. Too little sunlight can result in poor flowering and leaf growth. When growing Clematis jouiniana, make sure that it is planted in an area that receives full sun in the morning until early afternoon and is then shaded for the remainder of the afternoon. This will ensure that it gets a good amount of sunlight without being exposed to intense heat for too long.
Temperature
Hardiness zone 4–8.
Pruning
For Clematis jouiniana, pruning is best done in late winter or early spring. Prune lighty and remove any dead or diseased wood, then cut back the remaining stems to where the new growth will begin. Make sure to leave some foliage on the plant and remove no more than 1/3 of the total stem length overall. After an initial prune, maintain Clematis jouiniana by lightly pruning it again in the spring by removing any dead or crossing stems. Additionally, in areas with mild winters, you can lightly prune it again in the summer after flowering is finished. Pruning is very important for keeping this species healthy as it encourages new growth and helps to keep the plant from becoming overgrown.
