Clematis Vancouver™ Purple Tide Vine

Discover the beauty of Clematis Vancouver™ Purple Tide Vine, featuring stunning purple blooms and a cascading habit that brightens any garden or trellis.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a spot with well-draining soil and full to partial sun, ensuring the base of the vine is kept cool to promote healthy growth. If your clematis arrives as a potted vine, gently remove it from the container and loosen any bound roots before planting. For those planting in a container, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.

2. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the growing season, especially in hot weather, you may need to increase frequency to keep the plant thriving. Mulching around the base can help retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool.

3. Pruning: Clematis Vancouver ™ Purple tide is a group 2 clematis that blooms in spring on old wood, then reblooms in late summer on new wood. In early spring, prune dead, damaged, or tangled stems to a pair of buds. After the first flush of flowers, prune stems by a third, which stimulates new flowering shoots for late summer bloom.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a 5-10-10 fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears to encourage blooming. After the first bloom, switch to a 10-10-10 and apply every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for robust development and vibrant flowers.
