About 5 years ago, I planted a light purple and dark purple next to each other. The next year (and every year after) I had hardly any light purple and a lot of the dark. I never knew why. Now I do! Thanks!!!

The clematis I've dealt with have all seemed quite resilient and easy growing.

Been growing clematis plants now for over 10 years, I’ve grown them in every home I’ve lived in, I think they are beautiful and brilliant solutions for saving the bees because their floral is so attractive. I find in Ireland where I am that potting a clematis for the first 2-3 years and then plant into ground only once roots are really strong have I not had a wilt yet since using this method for the past 6 years.

I am obsessed with clematis. I buying mine from supermarkets UK. I got 2 a "pilau" &" ville de Lyon" paid £1.89 each. Going to cut back and take cuttings before planting. I love them in small pots as I can plant them in small spaces. I also had "Amber" that flourished for 3 years. Thought I had lost, a few days ago I noticed it popping up.
Love all this valuable advice. ❤

I have a climatis in a large clay pot. Which seems to heat up the soil.
I have put an umbrella in the pot to shade it.
The lower leaves on the Vine are dried out. But on top, there is nice new growth. I think shading the pot has helped it. I'm in CA zone 9b.

Lovely and useful information, here in Scotland growing in clay I don't add any compost but plant them a couple of inches deeper than they were in the pots and being near decidious trees there is a layer of fallen leaves which keeps the soil from freezing during long winters and they condition the soil, making it a bit more open. They've lasted for over 20yrs here and still flower for months, it would be nice to try out clematis in pots here but maybe with long, cold winters they'd struggle...in a cold climate with short summers they seem to do best growing up trees and shrubs with natural support. I'm rushing out to garden inbetween hail, snow and rain showers heh, still the clematis thrive as I mainly go for species and reliable doers, they do seem to struggle a bit when it's unusually hot and dry

I just saw this plants today at nursery in Seal Beach, Ca. It has beautiful colors, purple and light pink.

This was the best info on Clematis care. I’m a new gardener & have several in containers & I planted some in the ground. So
Far they are easy to
Grow.

[mikeq]

great information just in time for my planting my first 2 clematis. Thanks for the info !

[howiewill]

I’m glad I watched this. I was about to go purchase any pink clematis I could get my hands on to go near my Italian leather. I should research more first.

[josweatt]

I just planted 2 young Miss Bateman in a very large pot with. A double ball trellis. Hope they both will thrive!

My favourite vines. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

My 38 year old son hates my vines and uses a string trimmer and cuts them off at the ground. We live in a northern climate and provide winter interest. It makes me so mad that i lock the shed. This is 35' of cedar pickets next to the sidewalk. One on the corner gets lots of sun and grow 7-8' tall. Shocked, I separated a still rooted vine, dug a 2-3" trench along the fence and covered them with 4-5 inches of garden soil. Grass clippings & leaves are tilled until the ground freezes. 10-10-10 from the shrub area of a home improvement store help a lot. Since "Phosphates" are made illegal in lawn fertilizer, it is all I can get and works.

Often, when the plants goes dormant, and loses its leaves, people will chop the long growth off. Here in Southern California, I find that just leaving the plant alone during our mild winters, allows it to get a head start in spring ( no need to regrow from the ground up) I keep the roots cool by planting the Clematis in the sun, in large planters with succulents & geraniums .

I have a hot pink clematis like you showed near the beginning of the video. I planted it on an obelisk and over 3 years it has gone crazy and now it overgrown. Can I trim this to control shape ? Or do I have to find a bigger obelisk. When should I trim it too? In summer after blooming or in fall ? I moved to a new state and I’ve had luck growing them here in my last state they acted like an annual

[RuthZigZag]

What good luck I am just watching this. I planted three clematis yesterday and they were in those types of material in a bag from Costco. I cut them off before I planted them because I saw an old plant I had that died still had that on it. Thanks for the information and help.
