Water: Clematis 'Will Goodwin' requires consistently moist soil without waterlogging, favoring regular hydration to prevent dry spells. It benefits from watering twice a week, especially during its active growing season, ensuring optimal blooming and health.

Fertilize: Fertilize clematis 'Will Goodwin' biweekly with balanced fertilizers (10-10-10) during active growth. Switch to high-nitrogen formulas pre-bloom.
