Clematis Vitalba

What is the plant

Clematis vitalba is a wild European species within the genus clematis. It blooms with very small, white, star-shaped flowers and is an exceptionally robust and healthy plant that develops giant vine-lianas, which makes it very interesting for building greening. Leafy, vital, and drought-resistant, clematis vitalba is often chosen for high greening projects, and can be used for concrete facades, poles, or masts (in street greening, for example). Clematis vitalba can provide accents and interesting contrasts in a "designed" or engineered environment

How to Care for the Plant

Water
C. vitalba prefers moist soil and hence, appreciates frequent watering. However, it is hardy and somewhat drought-tolerant too. Therefore, watering less is better than over-watering because the plant doesn’t like wet soil.
Pruning
While old man’s beard doesn’t require much care for growing, it needs to be pruned regularly to prevent it from overtaking other garden plants.The plant, in particular, responds well to late winter pruning – cut back the plant to just a foot above the ground in February to encourage new growth in spring.
Fertilizer
Fertilize this plant during the spring season with a fertilizer with low nitrogen content.
