They like their roots cool and shaded in well-drained rich soil. The vine can be in full sun or partial shade. Propagate by seed in spring or autumn, or by cuttings or layering. Clematis may have a problem with aphids, mildew or clematis wilt. Prune this type before new growth begins in early spring as it flowers on new shoots only.
