Each bloom presents with a classy and simple elegance, showcasing a soft color palette that often encompasses shades of white to palest pink, creating an atmosphere of calm and serenity. The petals are gently rounded and overlap to create a full, rounded look to the flower.

The foliage of this Clematis is comprised of green leaves, which can vary from a bright, healthy shade to a deeper green as the season progresses. The leaves are not just a backdrop to the flowers; they are essential to creating a lush appearance, often spreading out gracefully to support the showy blooms. The leaves can provide a beautiful contrast in texture and color to the surrounding garden plants, creating a harmonious and balanced visual display. This climbing Clematis can be grown up trellises, walls, fences, or even through other shrubs and trees, bringing vertical interest and beauty to gardens and outdoor spaces. It is prized for its ornamental value and is often used to add a touch of tranquility to garden designs, hence its name. The plant's display of flowers typically occurs from late spring to early autumn, with the blossoming episodes offering a dynamic and evolving spectacle throughout the growing season.

Always check the soil moisture level a few inches deep to determine if additional watering is needed.
LightThe Clematis Tranquilité thrives best in a location that provides it with partial sun to full sun, where it receives at least six hours of sunlight per day. For optimal growth, position the plant so it gets morning sun and afternoon shade, protecting it from the intense, hot midday sun. An east-facing garden spot is often ideal for this variety of clematis.
TemperatureThe Clematis Tranquilité is hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures, but it prefers to grow in conditions where the temperature stays between 50°F and 75°F. It can survive winter temperatures down to 20°F and summer temperatures up to 90°F. Avoid planting it in areas where temperatures might consistently exceed these ranges to prevent stress to the plant.
PruningPrune the Clematis Tranquilité to promote vigorous growth and improve flowering. Early spring is the best time for pruning, just as the buds begin to swell.

CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for Clematis 'Tranquilité' is one that is well-draining with a pH ranging between 6.5 to 7.0. A blend of loamy garden soil, compost, and well-rotted manure or a balanced commercial potting mix with added perlite or sand can provide the appropriate structure. Regular checking for pH balance and nutrient content will ensure optimal growth conditions.
RepottingClematis 'Tranquilité' should be repotted every two to three years, preferable in the early spring before the growing season starts. When repotting, ensure that the root ball is placed deeply enough to encourage new shoots to grow from below the soil line.

Life cycleClematis Tranquilité, commonly known simply as Clematis, begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or young plant in a small pot. Once planted, the roots establish in the soil, and shoots emerge, growing rapidly in spring and early summer. The plant enters a vegetative stage producing long, climbing vines and serrated leaves. By mid to late summer, it reaches the flowering stage, showcasing an abundance of creamy-white flowers with yellow anthers. Post-bloom, the Clematis enters the senescence phase with flowers developing into fluffy, plumed seed heads. During autumn and winter, the plant becomes dormant again, shedding leaves and preserving energy in the roots for the next growing season.

Spring-Early Summer
Cloning is the most popular method for propagating Clematis Tranquilité 'Evipo111', also known as Clematis. This involves taking cuttings from the plant, typically during the spring or early summer when the plant's growth is most active. Cuttings should be about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) in length, with at least two sets of leaves. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone before being planted in a well-drained soil mix. The soil should be kept moist, and the cuttings should be placed in indirect light until they have rooted, which usually takes a few weeks. Once rooted, the new clematis plants can be transplanted to a more permanent location in the garden.
