Water: Clematis 'Anna Louise' prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in environments similar to its native habitat. It has moderate drought tolerance but benefits from consistent moisture, requiring watering twice a week, especially during the growing season. Mulching aids in moisture retention and supports its flowering period.

Fertilize: For clematis 'Anna Louise', apply balanced fertilizers in spring and summer, switching to high-nitrogen in early spring for flowering. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks, avoiding over-fertilization. Cease in winter months and water after fertilization for optimal nutrient uptake and to prevent root burn.

Pruning: Clematis 'Anna Louise' should be pruned before flowering or during late winter to early spring. Remove weak branches to improve nutrient usage and selectively prune for better blooms. Avoid excessive summer pruning. Half of the branches can be cut, promoting increased flowering and healthier growth annually.

Propagation: Clematis 'Anna Louise', a native climbing perennial, is propagated via softwood cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Cuttings should have two leaf sets, with the lower set removed, and placed in a moist, well-draining medium. Consistent moisture and warmth aid root development for transplanting.
