Fragrant clematis is a vigorous climbing vine that thrives in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-draining soil and a sturdy support structure such as a trellis or fence. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogging the roots. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth.
