Soil Type

Water: Alpine clematis 'Constance' thrives in a moist environment, requiring thorough watering when the soil is dry. Watering should be adjusted based on weather conditions, especially in spring when growth accelerates. Always ensure good drainage by removing excess water from saucers or using pebbles for support.

Fertilize: Fertilization for alpine clematis 'Constance' depends on its size; nitrogen is needed during growth and after flowering, while phosphate is crucial from bud appearance to blooming. Use potassium consistently. Apply low concentration fertilizer several times, and during dormancy, incorporate organic fertilizers and compost to enhance soil nutrients.

Pruning: Prune alpine clematis 'Constance' before flowering or in late winter to early spring, removing weak branches for better nutrient concentration. Limit pruning in summer to maintain water circulation. Heavy pruning can stimulate new growth, while pruning half the branches promotes a longer blooming season. Wait for suitable weather before pruning.
