Tips for Tangutica Clematis.
In some countries these wonderful plants are considered to be invasive and problematic, however in the UK this is not the case. The tangutica clematis are extremely useful in the garden, providing colour and interest from mid-summer through to late autumn, with most producing excellent seed-heads for added interest in the winter months. They cope well with hot, sunny situations and are drought tolerant, even thriving in poorer conditions where you would think they would struggle. They will not tolerate very heavy clay soils that sit waterlogged, nor any over-watering. Very easy to grow and low maintenance with simple pruning.
Avoid them becoming too excessively wet during their first autumn and winter in the ground or perhaps plant in the spring.
The tangutica can all be late to show new shoots and growth in the spring, so do not panic and think that they are dead, they are just having a lay in!
Lastly the tangutica do not require the deep planting that the large flowered clematis need, so planting at the same depth as they are in their pot is sufficient.
