Care Guide
Watering
Clematis 'Nelly Moser' is best kept consistently moist but not overly wet. During the growing season (typically spring and summer) water it every 2-7 days depending on soil moisture and temperatures, making sure it is receiving at least 1 inch of water per week. Never leave the plant to dry out. Once temperatures start dropping during the fall months, give it less water, letting the top soil dry out in between waterings.
Light
Clematis 'Nelly Moser' needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day during peak flowering season in summer. It should be placed in a spot where it will receive full sun in the morning, followed by partial or dappled shade in the afternoon. If it is in a particularly hot or dry area, then it may need a bit of extra water or light shade. During the winter months, it should receive at least 4 hours of indirect sunlight per day.
Temperature
Hardiness zone 4–8.
Pruning
Clematis 'Nelly Moser' should be pruned at least once a year, typically in late winter or early spring. This pruning should remove any new or old dead growth and any stems that are growing too long or wayward. The remaining stems can be cut back to within 2 buds of the previous year's long stems. Doing so will encourage the plant to develop strong and robust new shoots.
