Care Guide
Watering
Clematis 'Evijohill' JOSEPHINE is a type of clematis plant that requires consistent and deep watering. The amount of water needed will depend on the weather conditions and the environment. Generally, you should water the plant deeply when the soil feels dry to the touch. You can check the soil moisture levels at the root level by pushing your finger into the soil to the depth of your first knuckle. If the soil feels dry, it's time to water. Water the clematis deeply to help ensure that the moisture penetrates deep into the ground, saturating the roots thoroughly. Clematis should be watered at least once per week during warmer months and every other week during cooler months.
Light
Clematis 'Evijohill' Josephine grows best in full sun to partially shaded areas. In its ideal growing environment- where the plant receives at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight per day-it will produce beautiful blooms. In areas with extreme heat or strong winds, a partially shaded spot will help to prevent the plant from enduring damaging elements. It can also grow in regions with intense cold, but should be sheltered with additional insulating material. Having too much shade or sun exposure can reduce flowering and cause the plant to be stunted. For this reason, it's best to avoid exposing the plant to extreme lighting situations.

Pruning
Pruning a clematis of the species 'Evijohill' (Clematis 'Evijohill' JOSEPHINE) should be done twice a year, typically in early spring and late summer. In the early spring, prune the clematis after it has finished flowering, cutting it back to just above the lowest pair of strong buds. This encourages better flowering in the summer. In the late summer, deadhead the remaining flowers on the plant and prune away any dead or overgrown shoots. If you want the clematis to stay bushier, prune lightly following the late summer trim.
