For Clematis 'Vanso' BLUE LIGHT, water deeply when the soil is dry to a depth of about 10 cm, or between 1 and 2 inches. Water should be done in the morning, every few days in hot summer climates. In cooler climates and during the winter, water can be tapered off to once a week. Be sure to avoid overwatering, as this can cause the roots to rot.

Clematis 'Vanso' BLUE LIGHT is best grown in full sun to part shade. It should get at least 6 to 8 hours of sun each day. Morning sunlight is the best choice for this plant species in order to give it the energy it needs to flower properly. Avoid hotter, midday sun to prevent scorching the delicate flowers. In areas with very hot summers, providing some afternoon shade may be necessary.

Hardiness zone 4–8.

For Clematis 'Vanso' BLUE LIGHT, pruning should generally take place in early to mid spring, before the new growth appears. Prune lightly, removing any dead or damaged stems and then reducing the thicker stems by cutting back 1-third of their total length. This will encourage the plant to form many strong stems and flowers. Depending on the vigor and overall health of the particular plant, pruning may need to be repeated in late summer to keep the plant looking neat. Too much pruning will reduce flowering potential, while not enough pruning can weaken the plant.
