WaterThe Clematis, commonly known as Clematis Green Passion, prefers to be watered deeply and thoroughly with about 1 gallon of water weekly during the growing season, but the frequency should be adjusted according to the weather conditions. In hot and dry climates, you might need to water it twice a week, whereas in cooler climates or during rainy periods, watering may need to be reduced. Always allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again to prevent overwatering. During the winter, when the plant is dormant, water less frequently, providing just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.
LightClematis Green Passion thrives in a spot where it can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, with some partial shade during the hottest part of the afternoon to protect it from intense heat. It can be grown on a trellis or other support structure in an area that offers bright, indirect light or dappled sunlight, which will encourage the best flowering.
TemperatureThe ideal temperature range for Clematis Green Passion is between 50°F and 75°F. This plant can survive minimum temperatures down to about 20°F, making it suitable for planting in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9. Be sure to protect it from extreme cold to prevent damage to the vine.
PruningPruning is essential for maintaining the vigor of the Clematis Green Passion and encouraging optimal blooming. Prune in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins, cutting back the plant to just above a pair of strong buds. This plant benefits from annual pruning to remove any weak or dead stems and promote the growth of new, healthy shoots. It is also a good practice to prune for shaping and training the plant on its trellis or support.

Life cycleClematis 'Green Passion' typically begins its life cycle as a dormant, bare-root plant or as a young plant in a nursery pot. Once planted, it enters a vegetative stage, producing stems, leaves, and climbing tendrils which allow it to grow upwards by clinging to supports. As it matures, typically within the first year or two after planting, it reaches a flowering stage, developing distinctive green blossoms with a central puff of frilly petal-like staminodes during the spring and summer months. After pollination, the flowers may develop into feathery seed heads if seeds are produced. The plant then enters a period of senescence in late autumn to winter, during which above-ground growth dies back, especially in colder climates, with the root system remaining dormant until the next growing season. With the return of warmer temperatures and increased daylight in spring, the cycle repeats, with new shoots emerging from the base of the plant or from buds along the previous season's stems.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to Summer
Clematis Green Passion, commonly known as Clematis, can be propagated through several methods, but the most popular method is through cuttings. This method is typically done during the spring or early summer when the plant is in a period of active growth. To propagate by cuttings, a 4 to 6 inch (approximately 10 to 15 cm) section of a stem with at least two sets of leaves is cut just below a leaf node. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a well-draining soil mixture, ensuring at least one set of leaves is above the soil surface. The soil is kept moist but not soggy, and the cutting is placed in indirect light but out of direct sunlight until roots have developed, which typically takes several weeks.
