Flexible wire mesh, such as chicken wire, works well. Anchor this mini trellis to the ground behind the plant and then attach it securely to the permanent trellis. Pruning your clematis will increase its vigor and improve flower production. Officially, every clematis cultivar should be pruned according to a specific pruning style.
Keeping track of which cultivar should be pruned in which way can be confusing. So what follows is an easier approach. The best time to prune these plants is late summer, right after they bloom. If your clematis sends up most of its new growth from the base of the plant, it's a type that sets flowers on current year vines. These plants can simply be cut back each year in early spring, to a height of ".
Should your clematis ever outgrow its allocated space, you can cut back the entire plant to a height of 5". This can be done in fall or in early spring. Stray vines may also be trimmed back any time during the growing season. Learn more about growing clematis here: All About Clematis. To shop our full line of clematis, click HERE. If necessary, amend the soil with bone meal or superphosphate before planting. Support structures, such as fences, trellises and stakes, allow clematis vines to twine, curl and cling.
Keep the soil wet, but not overly saturated. Clematis vines are susceptible to several diseases, including leaf spot, clematis wilt and powdery mildew, according to PennState Extension. Suspect leaf spot Phoma if you see large tan or black spots on the plant's leaves. Anytime you notice infected leaves, remove them. To help prevent leaf spot, keep water off the foliage when irrigating and ensure that air circulates freely around the plant's stems.
Clematis plants with leaf spot often develop cankers on their stems that cause clematis wilt Phoma clematidina , which promotes dieback. Manage the disease by removing dead and damaged stems as necessary and prevent it by pruning the plant for good air circulation and avoiding the leaves when watering the plants. Powdery mildew Erysiphe is a white fungal coating that causes the leaves to shrivel and turn brown. Clematis 'Veronica's Choice' bears large, semidouble lavender-pink flowers that fade to nearly white.

I just planted an Avant-garde evipo in my Douglaton NY garden. I spotted it in an issue of Gardens Illustrated UK my sister gave me. I can ask Dan if he has any insights. Love vines! The Glory Vine is one of the longest blooming vines I have ever seen and the hummers love it.
Grows easily from seed in case one looses parent plant. The yellow bleeding heart vine is also a favorite with the humming birds. I garden in Sumner, WA not far from Seattle.
Zone 7. Great episode! Glad you enjoyed the chat with Dan; me too. I have a purple common clematis — each winter the rabbits eat the vine at the bottom. Last year it grew again but I am wondering if it will make it again this year. I will try watering and fertilizer but do you have any thoughts — how to help it along.
It has to grow from its roots each year. Hi, Joanne. First and foremost: Construct a hardware-cloth cage or some other kind of serious protection for the base of the plant, right?
On all my fruit trees I made cylinders of hardware cloth heavy mesh to prevent that. No way to help the plant if it gets gnawed year after year. I live in Saratoga Springs NY zone I would like to plant a clematis on my light post which gets part sun. My style is cottage gardening using a lot of perennials in blues, purples and white variety. Annabele appeals to me but is it suited for my zone and, if so where can I purchase this variety.
Look forward to hearing from you, thanks. Hi, Marianne. People used to cut areas thru the white woods. It was a constant and unending task. It was a lace where snakes hung out.. There used to a lot of vine ecologies. Lots of the species clematis were sold to the Chinese very early and then returned as introduced plants..
You have to fertilize to simulate Carolina parakeet or passenger pigeon to,properly simulate. I am wacking back myntwo kinds of sweet autumn, digging some out, to see if the survivors behave. So they need different care or conditions? The vine is already six feet tall this season, and we have had good rain and no heat so far, and yet some of the tips are drooping — and I mean completely limp.
The rest of the plant looks very vigorous and healthy. In prior years this drooping has ended up traveling down the shoot until I had to remove the entire stem. Fortunately Rooguchi is six feet away, and that one is a flowering monster — no trouble whatsoever — you can practically see it grow! Is that what they are? How to control those nasty things??? Hi, Belinda. I will try to ID it. What a wonderfully detailed and informative interview!
Perfect timing as usual! Thank you so much. Thanks for the show! My question- can I plant another type of Clematis of a different blooming time with it? Is it possible to find a Clematis which will get along and share a trellis?
