How to Plant & Care for Climbing Plants
- Position: Most climbers like sun or light shade. Avoid dry rain-shadow spots right under eaves.
- Soil prep: Improve heavy clay with compost and grit; add a slow-release feed at planting.
- Planting depth: For clematis, set the crown 5–8cm deeper to reduce wilt risk.
- Support: Fit trellis or stainless wires before planting; tie in new shoots as they grow.
- Watering: Water deeply, especially through the first growing season and in summer dry spells.
- Pruning: Follow the group (e.g. clematis 1/2/3). Light summer prune for wisteria after flowering.
- Underplanting: Shade clematis roots with low perennials or a small shrub.
