Clematis
Requirements: Soil Type - Well drained, humus rich, sandy loam
Characteristics: Height - Vines 5 - 20 ft.
Only a few varities of Clematis are hardy enough to survive north country winters. They require a sweeter soil than most garden flowers. Soil should be a loose,sandy loam with plenty of organic material added. If lime is necessary, mix broken concrete in the soil. These vines really need full sun but their root zones need to be kept cool and moist. The best way to provide these conditions is to plant a dense, low growing ground cover at the base of the vines. |

Hybrids bloom from old or new wood depending upon type Prune old wood types lightly Prune new wood types harshly or to the ground But don't be afraid to cut back any type harshly if you think they need it
