Water: Originating from China's humid environments, early large-flowered clematis prefers consistent moisture and is moderately drought-tolerant when established. Water twice a week to maintain hydration. As an outdoor plant, mulching is beneficial for moisture retention and root protection during hot or dry periods.

Apply every 4-6 weeks during growth, reducing in late summer. Use granular or liquid fertilizers on moist soil and avoid over-fertilization to prevent harm.

Pruning: Early large-flowered clematis should be pruned before flowering and between late winter and early spring. Remove weak branches to conserve nutrients and selectively prune for better blooms. Avoid heavy summer pruning. Proper pruning promotes healthier growth and longer blooming seasons, benefiting all varieties of early large-flowered clematis.

Propagation: Early large-flowered clematis is a vigorous climbing plant with large flowers. Propagate early large-flowered clematis using cuttings from healthy, post-flowering shoots, ensuring two leaf pairs and nodes.
