Clematis Vine
Plant Clematis in full sun. Keep soil evenly moist but well-drained soil. Plant the crown of both bareroot and
pot-grown plants more deeply than you would other woody plants; 3-4" below soil level. After the plants have
spent a year in the ground, prune the stems of all varieties to the lowest pair of healthy buds. Thereafter prune
to control size and shape or to encourage more profuse blooms. When pruning, cut just above a pair of healthy buds.
Vines that are pruned hard will generally bloom later but more profusely than vines that are allowed to grow unchecked.
Clematis climb by means of grasping leaf stalks, not by twining. The vines require a support narrow enough for
the petioles to encircle. Clematis grow best when their roots are kept cool; plant annuals or shallow-rooted perennials
such as Campanulas at the foot of the vine to shade the root zone. |
