Water: Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' prefers a moist environment and should be watered twice a week to ensure optimal health. While moderately drought-tolerant, it thrives with consistent hydration, especially during the growing season to support flowering. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from natural rainfall.

Fertilize: For healthy growth and blooms in clematis 'Ville de Lyon', alternate between a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer every 4 weeks and a high nitrogen formula pre-summer. Use half the dose for container-grown clematis 'Ville de Lyon' and a quarter cup for outdoor plants. Adjust feeding in winter and ensure soil is watered before and after fertilization.

Pruning: Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' should be pruned before flowering or between late winter and early spring, focusing on weak branches. Heavy pruning can encourage growth, especially for late bloomers. Aim to prune half the branches while retaining thicker ones for a longer blooming season and increased flower production.

Propagation: Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' thrives with prolific flowering and vigorous growth. For propagation, use healthy semi-ripe stem cuttings during active growth, ensuring they have a leaf and nodes. Utilize a well-draining medium, maintain humidity, and provide indirect light.
