PETITTI Clematis | Grow for Repeat Blooms, Deer Resistance & Pollinators

Clematis are one of our favorite sun-loving, gorgeous, flowering vines that naturally twine around supports or can sprawl as a groundcover. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about the benefits of growing Clematis in your garden. Along with beautiful blooms, there is so much more clematis have to offer. They prefer to grow in full sun environments, but the lighter colored varieties can tolerate partial shade conditions. As with most perennials, we recommend fertilizing with @EspomaOrganic Plant-tone® and Iron-tone® to provide nutrients for those showy blooms. Most of the varieties we grow at Petitti’s are award-winning varieties, bred by Raymond Evison. His Clematis varieties are vigorous, repeat bloomers, and grow 3-4′, perfect for patio pots, all the way up to 8′ tall. One thing to remember when growing clematis in your garden, they prefer to have their face in the sun and their feet in the shade. For gorgeous shades of purple, look for varieties such as Zara®, Fleuri®, Bernadine®, and Diamantina® (which also has beautiful double blooms). If you prefer pink flowers in the garden, check Charmaine®, Cherokee®, Abeline®, or Sarah Elizabeth®.

Best Clematis information I have ever heard! Thank you so much for this video. I have a question, if winter has exposed my clematis roots, should I dig it up and replant it or just put more soil on top of it to cover the exposed roots?

[GardenDoodles]

Beautiful! Our Blue Lights clematis just finished blooming. We didn’t know we should deadhead them so that’s on our to do list. Thank you.

[sakethk]

We just got one from Costco. The pot is about 8 inches wide. Should I repot immediately, or can I let it grow for a year and then do a repot. We want to keep this next to our fence.

Thanks for Video

Great info, not sure if I missed it, but I was looking for the “growing zone”. I’m in central California (9B), trying to see if Clematis would survive in our relentless heat.
