solitary clematis

The solitary clematis (Clematis integrifolia 'Rose Colored Glasses') is a drought-tolerant plant that requires regular moisture but should not be over-watered. For optimal growth, soil should be kept slightly moist but not wet at all times. During the growing season, watering should be done when the soil is dry to a depth of 2-3 inches. Water should be applied slowly and deeply so as to avoid saturation of the roots. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, cut back on watering and only water when the soil is completely dry.

Solitary clematis (Clematis integrifolia 'Rose Colored Glasses') prefers full sun exposure for best growth and flowering. This plant should be placed in a site where it can receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. The best hours of sunlight should be between 10am and 4pm in order to promote optimal growth. In addition, the plant should be provided some protection from strong winds which can be damaging to the foliage and flowers.

The solitary clematis (Clematis integrifolia 'Rose Colored Glasses') should be pruned no more than once per year. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring when new growth is just starting to appear, before flowering has occurred. During this time, it is advisable to remove any dead or damaged stems, and any stems that are crossing over 1 another. Additionally, older, larger stems may be pruned back to encourage new growth and in general keep the plant compact and bushy. To ensure the best growth, avoid pruning too hard and ensure there are plenty of buds left to produce flowers.
