Water
The Clematis 'Endellion' prefers consistent moisture, so it should be watered thoroughly, allowing the roots to access water without becoming waterlogged. Usually, this equates to about 1 inch of water weekly. Watering should be done directly at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to mitigate the risk of fungal diseases. In the growing season, especially during dry spells, you might need to water every few days, providing roughly 1.5 gallons each time to ensure the soil stays moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in the fall as the plant goes dormant, and over the winter, only water if the soil becomes very dry.
Light
The Clematis 'Endellion' thrives in a location that offers full sun to partial shade. It does best with about 6 hours of sunlight a day, but benefits from some afternoon shade in hotter climates. The ideal spot would provide morning sunlight and protection from the intense heat of late-afternoon sun.
Temperature
Clematis 'Endellion' can endure temperatures as low as about 20°F and as high as 90°F but thrives best in the range of 55°F to 75°F. It's important to plant it in an area where the roots are cool and shaded, either by other low plants or mulch, while allowing the vines to grow into a warmer zone with proper sun exposure.
Pruning
Prune Clematis 'Endellion' to promote healthy growth and flowering. It benefits from a light pruning in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged stems. As a group 3 Clematis, it can be cut back harder to around a foot above ground, since it flowers on new growth. The best time for this is when buds begin to swell but before active growth starts.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
Clematis (Clematis Endellion) prefers a well-draining soil mix with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. The ideal soil pH for this clematis should be neutral to slightly alkaline, ranging between 6.5 to 7.5. To improve drainage, you can add perlite or gritty sand to the soil mixture.
Repotting
Clematis (Clematis Endellion) generally does not need frequent repotting and can thrive in the same pot for several years. It should be repotted only when it becomes root-bound or the soil is exhausted, typically every 2 to 4 years.
Humidity & Misting
Clematis (Clematis Endellion) is adaptable to a range of humidity levels but thrives best in environments with average to high humidity. It does not require any specific humidity level but benefits from a moist air without being too wet.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Place in bright, indirect light and ensure proper support for climbing.
- Outdoor
  Plant in well-draining soil, partial to full sun; provide a trellis.
- Hardiness zone
  4-11 USDA
Life cycle
The Clematis 'Endellion' begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or young potted specimen that, once planted in spring or early summer, enters a period of active growth. It quickly develops a strong root system and climbing stems, using leaf tendrils to support itself as it grows upwards and outwards. During the growing season, the plant produces large, flamboyant blooms that range from pale to deep pink, typically flowering from early summer to early autumn. After the blooming period, the plant develops seed heads that disperse its seeds, allowing for potential germination and new plant growth. As temperatures drop in autumn, the Clematis 'Endellion' begins to enter dormancy, with foliage dying back and the plant conserving energy in its roots. Each spring, the plant emerges from dormancy, sprouting new growth from its woody stems and repeating the life cycle.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- The Clematis Endellion, a charming climbing plant adorned with beautiful flowers, can be propagated by taking semi-hardwood cuttings during the summer months, which typically spans from June through August. The most popular method involves selecting a healthy, mature stem and cutting a segment around 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long, just below a leaf node. This stem should then have the lower leaves removed, with only a couple of leaves left at the top. Dipping the cut end into a rooting hormone can enhance the likelihood of successful rooting. The prepared cutting should be planted in a well-draining potting mix and kept in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight. Consistent moisture must be maintained without waterlogging the soil. With proper care, roots will often establish after a few weeks, after which the new Clematis Endellion can be gradually acclimated to less humid conditions and eventually planted out in the garden.
