Quite drought-tolerant once mature, it needs plenty of water and food the first season or two. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply a generous mulch near the base of the vine. Radar Love is a Group III Clematis for pruning purposes, which means that in early spring you should cut back the vine to just above the base of last year's stems (usually about a foot from the ground).

You can sow the flower seeds in trays indoors and transplant the seedlings after frost season, or sow the flower seeds directly outside after danger of frost has passed.

The cold helps to break the dormancy.
