Care Guide
Watering
Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' should be watered thoroughly, at least 1-2 times a week, depending on the weather/temperature and the soil status. When the soil feels dry to a 1-2 inch depth, it's time to water. Avoid splashing the foliage to prevent fungal diseases from developing. During warm summer months, water more often, as it may be necessary to water every day. In addition, make sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never wet. As a general rule, any clematis should be provided with 1-2 inches of water per week during the growing season.
Light
Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' is a climbing vine that prefers full sun to part shade. It requires at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day during the spring and summer, and 2 to 4 hours during the fall and winter. In hotter climates, it should receive some shade in the afternoon to protect it from too much sun. Water this plant regularly, and provide supplemental support for the stems as it climbs.

Pruning
Prune clematis 'Ville de Lyon' twice each year for best results and highest flowering potential. Prune once in late winter/early spring, cutting the main stems to just above the strongest, lowest buds. Prune a second time in mid-summer after flowering, trimming back any overly long stems to stimulate a second bloom. Pruning in summer also encourages a sturdy structure, protecting against wind damage.
