Culture Notes
Most Clematis are hybridized and do not come true from seed. Stem cuttings can be taken early summer. Removing spent flowers often increases the blooming period. Plant so that roots are shaded.
Since Clematis do not climb by tendrils or aerial roots, their leaf petioles will twine around anything close by (including themselves) for support. Clematis are beautiful specimens climbing up (with proper support wires, etc.) a fence, trellis, lamp post or wall. It's best not to plant Clematis in an area where it would have to fight for its water supply, such as next to the roots of a tree. 'Serenata' has beautiful 5-6" purple blossoms with a dark purple bar and yellow stamens.
When using a trellis, add compost or cow manure in the spring to the base of this plant. Also use a water soluble fertilizer (15-30-15) every two weeks through May, June and July.
