We are pleased to offer the following clematis and other
vines, which are great additions for vertical accents in your
garden—we are even offering a couple of non-climbers!! In order
to maintain their shape and vigor, it is sometimes necessary to
prune them. The problem is, you must know which group they belong
to in order to prune them at the correct time (so you don’t prune
off their flower buds). You can use the following as a guide; I
also highly recommend the book Clematis For All Seasons by
John Feltwell—it’s very informative and easy to read and gives you
great suggestions for use (also has wonderful pictures).
Remember one more thing about clematis—they don’t like hot feet,
so mulch around their base—they also love organic fertilizers, so
I usually top-dress mine with some mushroom compost or aged manure.
You can also use a balanced blend of time released fertilizer. Most
like full sun, but some will take quite a bit of shade. Don’t be
afraid to try them in different colors & bloom times in order to
enjoy them all season.
Pruning guide:
| Group 1: |
This group flowers on old wood—prune to shape
or train only. |
| Group 2: |
Prune lightly in the spring and remove dead growth. |
| Group 3: |
This group flowers on the current year’s growth—remove
dead wood in the autumn, prune hard in early spring (prune to
pair of buds you’d like the plant to burst forth from) |
A few more things: in order to comply with legal requirements, we’ve changed
our container size descriptions. The old 1 gallon pot is a #1, 2 gallon is a
#2, etc. See our Pot Size Table for exact pot
capacities.
Also, because we sell larger, more mature plants, WE
ARE UNABLE TO SHIP PLANTS, so please come visit us our farm!
