Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry, however these soil conditions can be improved by incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in containers, use a soil based compost. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Thompson & Morgan Clematis ‘Avalanche’ flowers in early spring on the previous year’s growth. Pruning of Group 1 clematis should be undertaken in summer, after flowering, by removing any damaged of dead stems entirely and then cutting back the remaining stems to a pair of healthy buds to maintain the plant within its allotted space.
