It has moderate drought tolerance and needs watering twice a week to avoid waterlogging. Best grown outdoors, it thrives with natural rainfall, enhancing its climbing ability and flowering potential.

Fertilize: To promote growth and flowering of clematis 'Early Sensation', use a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer monthly in the growing season.
