How To Care For Clematis Fukuzono
Clematis are woodland climbers and their upper reaches do like to be in a sunny position. They should have plenty of space to climb and sprawl with lots of air and movement. The best combination is to keep the roots cool, while the rest of the plant reaches for the sunshine. As a result, Clematis Fukuzono does best in partial shade or full sun (with mulch or pebbles over the roots), and can even be used to underplant trees. Choose moisture-retentive, well-drained soil for planting. This deciduous climber can also be grown in containers with great success.
