The flowers are produced in abundance from top to bottom of the plant from late spring through early summer reblooming in late summer to early fall. With vines that climb 4 to 5 feet tall, Lindsay is perfect for use in containers or on a short obelisk or trellis, mailbox post, fence or rail. Also nice sprawling amongst other plants in garden borders. Lindsay thrives in full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 4 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Landscape & Garden Uses Climbing 4 to 5 feet high and spreading 2 to 3 feet or more wide, the Lindsay Clematis is ideal for growing on a mailbox post, obelisks, pole, short fences and rails and other structures. Excellent on a stake or obelisk in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, blue or purple theme gardens, and butterfly and hummingbird gardens. Suggested Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls Growing Preferences This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below. Clematis Pruning Group 3 Clematis in Group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season's growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 6 to 12 inches. Always make sure to leave two good buds along the stem below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers.
