watering
Golden-bell clematis should be watered deeply once a week during the growing season. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. Water the plant at the base near the stem; avoid wetting the foliage. Increase the frequency of watering during particularly hot and dry periods. In winter, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks. Make sure that the soil has an even moisture content at all times.
sunlight
Golden bell clematis plants grow best in full sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours per day. This plant will thrive and bloom best when it is exposed to full sun in the morning but can tolerate some shade in the afternoon. It may be necessary to provide partial shade for the clematis in areas with scorching summer heat.
pruning
Pruning for a Clematis tangutica (Golden-bell Clematis) should be done once a year during the late winter or early spring. Aim to cut back the plant by around a 1/3 to a 1/2 to maintain the desired size and shape. This species of clematis produces many flowers, so leaving some of the old stems uncut and cutting the new ones can allow for best flowering growth. It is also recommended to pinch any large buds off as they emerge. Doing this will prevent large and lanky stems from developing in the middle of the plant.
