Water: Clematis 'Edith' thrives in a moist environment, needing thorough watering when the soil feels dry. In spring, it grows rapidly and requires more water. Drain any excess to prevent root rot, especially in rainy conditions, ensuring adequate drainage in pots with pebbles or by emptying saucers.

Fertilize: Fertilizer for clematis 'Edith' should match its size, with nitrogen during growth and phosphate from bud appearance to bloom. Potassium is essential year-round. Use low-concentration fertilizer and consider organic options during dormancy. Cover soil with compost for nutrients and frost protection.

Pruning: Clematis 'Edith' should be pruned before flowering or between late winter and early spring to enhance growth and blooms. Remove weak branches and selectively prune for better flower quality. Avoid excessive summer pruning. This encourages a longer bloom season and healthier growth, especially for late-blooming varieties.
