CLEMATIS Tips: How to Grow lots of Flowers, Complete Tutorial

Clematis may be the most popular climbing flowering plant in the world. They are beloved across the globe for their luxurious flowers that bloom in the summer time. But they are also one of the plants I get the most questions about. So in this video I address every detail needed in order to grow them as well as possible so your plants can bloom prolifically year after year. There are in fact a few key growing tips that must be taken into consideration when planting these lovely vining plants, without which you will find a plant that just kind of hangs out rather than growing quickly and lushly.
I also go through the three different categories of Clematis, Pruning Groups 1, 2, and 3. While showing examples of each type, I also touch on how these plants should be pruned each year so that you do not end up with a tangled mess of a plant in your garden. #clematis #climbingplants #gardening

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Have grown clematis successfully for more than a decade now. Here’s my experience so far. They have mostly outgrown any support I have purchased for them. I made the mistake one year, of buying one, a purple, seeing it look like a spindly little thing, and buying another, pink, to keep it company. Before long, I planted another, thinking three colors would be gorgeous. I was right, they are, but even the new 8 foot high, pretty heavy garden trellis I bought, is really not big enough. Those three plants are each huge in their own right, and I am now tying them up when they fall en masse to one side or another. They seem to love the spot, and come the spring of next year, I will try and do a better job of trimming it off as they grow. Sun, and lots of it works best. Reasonable water, and feeding every spring. I have also dug one out of a spot it had been in for almost two years with so so results. I thought that this gentle plant with the tiny tendrils would be a breeze to get out. Forget it. I eventually took a chisel to the ground and got out what I could. It thrived where I put it, and, it too, outgrew its trellis. But, digging them out is pretty tough, and I had new clematis coming out of the ground the following year because of the left over roots. I have five of them now, and am pleased with the longevity, color and relative ease of care. But, oh, those roots!

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SusanMiddleton1]

If you have room and want to try more, Raymond Evison Boulevard series are shorter - from 4 to 6’ tall. If they are the early large flowering type (pruning group 2) you will get a second blooming later in summer if you deadhesd.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

@@SusanMiddleton1 when do you actually trim them to the ground, if ever. This sounds like a manageable size. Thanks

[@SusanMiddleton1]

@@maureenmckenna5220 Maureen, with the early large flowering clematis that are pruning group 2 (which is usually on the label and if not, you can Google), you trim back in early spring but only to a set of fat buds on each stem. If I don't see any good buds on some stems, I might leave for a while just in case it's just slow. The advantage of not cutting back to the ground is that the stems at the bottom get woody over time and are sturdier. It sounds like your very tall clematis might be the later (summer) flowering kind with smaller flowers which are usually pruning group 3 and these can be cut back lower in the spring or right to the ground. I have a few which die back to the ground on their own. It's the roots that are important which is why it's recommended to plant deep to protect them.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

@@SusanMiddleton1 The ones I have, and they are really beautiful and full, are blooming right now, so that is a big clue. The purple one gets cut close to the ground in April here in VA. Both are trimmed way back then. They continue to grow and look very healthy for years now. I do know the name of one, The President, a purple variety. It is still very manageable and is blooming now, as is a light blue. They are on about five foot tall structures and are filling them up this year. They are about four years old. I have a pretty big garden and try to start pruning in late February and clean up in general. Those old clematis vines call me every year to simply make it look neat. Thanks for the tips.

I live in Chicago and I kept mine in in the garage over the winter. I put the whole pot inside of the tote that was lined with Styrofoam and never ran a heater. I also got a big bag of sawdust at Walmart. I guess it’s used for horse beds and covered the whole top layer the sawdust, actually more like shavings. Now that they are outside and sprouting up nicely and even flowering, I’m actually leaving all that wood shavings on top . The only clematis that came back for me were these.

[@marilyncurtis5011]

I've always added support to have Jackmani grow on a garden arch. I have a plant on either side and it's about ten or twelve years since the planting and I had the garden arch in place then. I've used dental floss, garden rubber wrapped wire, and don't remember what else. this year I'm using green garden twine. The arbor gives support for growth but then it gets too top heavy and I have had to tie it up so there is enough space to walk through the arch which is over the garden path to this part of the yard. I'm tying the twine to the garden arch to make the gaps smaller to have the plants closer to the arch and hopefully stay on the top instead of dropping through.

This is THE BEST instructional video for clematis I've seen so far! I have two Group 2s (at least I think they are Group 2 they are HF Youngs ) planted side by side and have been cutting them down every year in the fall. They are now 3 years old and I'm having issues with flower production evenly throughout the clematis. For instance this year I had a large flushing of flowers at the base, and now it's blooming primarily on the top portion. The middle is full but mostly green. I'm guessing this is because of the way I've been pruning it. I have so many shoots from the bottom I'm hoping I will be able to prune it properly next spring. Not sure with it being so thick how I will be able to follow the shoots throughout the plant. These are both very vigorous growers. Any suggestions?

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks for your lovely comment! my suggestion would be to thin out some of the stems. Travel backwards like shown in the video and cut the sections out that you don't want. that should create better airflow
