What Your Clematis Needs in July to Survive Extreme Heat – and Produce More Flowers Later This Summer

Pink clematis on fence.

In the intense July heat we're experiencing, our plants need a little extra love. This is especially true for climbers like clematis which quickly lose water and fade without the right summer care.

Growing a clematis is highly rewarding, looking beautiful on a pergola, fence, or trellis. But, in summer heat and sun, it's important to keep this flowering vine hydrated, provide just the right amount of shade, and do some light pruning to encourage repeat blooms – having these Fiskars micro snips from Amazon to hand is helpful for quick deadheading.
