Taiga Clematis Plants thrive in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun or partial shade. They're also good for container planting, being a relatively compact cultivar, although they will reach around 6-8ft (180-240cms) tall pretty quickly. Clematis do best when their roots are in a cool shaded spot, with their 'heads in the sun', so select the brightest position possible and mulch heavily to protect the roots. In particularly hot spots, try and select an area that offers some afternoon shade.
Clematis Taiga belongs to what is known as the third group of Clematis – a group including those Clematis varieties that tend to flower in late summer on fresh growth made that same year. Therefore, they required hard pruning and are best pruned in late winter or early spring. Stems should be cut back to a set of strong looking buds around 30cm (1ft) above ground level before new season growth commences each Spring.
