Hi Rachel, I can't wait to see them in their full blooming glory! 😍

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I really can't wait too. I have such fond memories of Clematis montana from childhood as my mother was the clematis queen and we had a giant montana in our front garden which cloaked a leylandii in pink flowers in spring. It was a vision. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 🌺💐

[@randyemery678]

pro tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@christianbrendan9610]

@Randy Emery yup, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@garyjames3673]

I found this channel when I was laid up in bed with a sprained back and the videos are amazing! Love when there’s a new one 😍 SO informative and lots of great tips x

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Ah, thank you so much but I am sorry to hear you were laid up. Hope your back is better now and you can get back out to the garden.

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

Wow, I love Clematis. Can't wait to see them growing and blooming. Fantastic choices ❤️

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Fernanda. I always feel that Clematis montana is on of the essential ingredients of spring. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend.

[@elparaisodedenis]

Hi Rachel good to see you again a lot of greetings from Serbia !

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Welcome back!

[@tippysdaddy7468]

Hi Rachel, great video. Love Clematis ❤

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

Hi Rachel, great video as always. Digging those holes looked hard work but I cannot wait to see the clematis flourish next year!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

No one likes digging holes but it has to be done. Thank you, Jeanette, and happy growing.

[@lenaolivetti9366]

Beautiful additions!!

Thank you kindly

Loved your concept, it will look fantastic.🤗

Excellent Clematis tutorial.

Many thanks and have a great evening.

[@tinak5765]

Lots of good information! Thanks 👍

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mickiem6833]

I used to have over 300 clematis but I have lost a few. Can't wait to see these montanas in bloom! I used to grow a really short one but I can't recall the name. I love the simple blossoms. It's barely autumn and I am pining for spring already!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Ah, the clematis queen. They can be so addictive. I know so many gardeners that are just mad about clematis. And I love spring too. Such a wonderful time.

[@NinjaOrchids]

Yes!! Clematis!! 🙌🏼 that is going to be gorgeous! I can’t wait to see this come to life next spring ... bet you can’t wait either 😉😍

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I can't wait either 😍

[@busynana7917]

Can’t wait to see these in flower!!! 🌸 🌸 🌸

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Not in flower yet but featured in today's video, some in bud. Thanks for watching and happy growing.

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Clematis are great, nicely done ✅

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you 🙌

[@Ellofez]

Rachel that's going to be glorious so jelly ! Can't wait to see them grow! Please let me know , let us enjoy it with you

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Of course I will. Thanks for watching and have a great evening.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Yay...clematis, my favourite vining plants! 🙏❤️🇨🇦🌱🌸

[@GardeningatDouentza]

They really are the best!. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day.

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I love clematis but I wish they were longer blooming. I heard the Polish Spirit clematis goes on much longer so that one is definitely on top of my list. I can't wait to see yours in the spring!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I don't grow Polish Spirit myself but I have heard that it is formidable! I also can't wait until spring although we have a long way to go yet. Thanks for watching.

[@Royaliize]

Lovely videos, i was wondering if u got Any creeping thyme/thymus. Id love to hear more about Them. Not many videos about care of thyme on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Unfortunately that's not something I grow although we do have a clump of it for kitchen use. Thanks for watching and happy growing.

[@Ruth1803ZigZag]

Where do you get these plants? These are all new varieties to me. Love them. :)

[@miksrieksts-hofmanis5875]

Next year the stump will be fabulous! Such a great idea! Next week I am going to get my first clematis. It will be one of group 2. I hope to grow it on my fence.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Group two is the glamorous group when it comes to clematis and its giant flowers are pretty hard to resist. Which one are you getting, Miks?

[@miksrieksts-hofmanis5875]

@@GardeningatDouentza "The president" is quite a popular variatie. I realy loved the rich violet color of it. In the gardening books the authors scare pepole about the dificulty of pruning them but my friend who has one of the most popular gardens in Latvia prunes only dead branches and doesen't realy bother about pruning clematis.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

The President is a really good one. I am sure it will do brilliantly for you. As for pruning, I like your friend's style and the truth is that many gardeners do exactly as he does although they seldom admit it 😉

Planting two tomorrow close to cut down conifer trunk a Montana and a Tudor, you have inspired us now. How are yours doing.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Great stuff. Bet they do brilliantly for you. You can see my clematis in the recent garden tour videos!

[@sarahd147]

Great vid. How do you disentangle group 3 stems from group 1 when pruning??

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi there. I just cut the group 3 clematis at the base (lowest buds) and leave the top growth in place. The montanas are so vigorous they just cover it up.

[@HH-green]

I was wondering if you would upload a video showing the progress of the clematis?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

The next garden tour will feature this bed and the cleamtis.

[@HH-green]

@@GardeningatDouentza I can't wait!

[@christinezarvis4761]

I was just wondering if these three prolific growers would smother each other on such a smallish snag? Looking forward to spring already.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Well if they do, I will remove one or more clematis. The most important thing now is to get the stump covered quickly. I think people often make the mistake of underplanting and end up looking at gaps for years.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Is there a specific reason that you didn't loosen the root ball on them prior to planting? I haven't planted a Clematis in a long, long time so I can't remember if it is necessary. The first one (montana Alba), especially, is one I probably would have fussed with a bit to encourage them to grow outward from the plant. (Group 2 Clematis sort of grow this far south, but they are more of an annual or "bi-annual", where you might get two seasons out of it if you are lucky)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Goodness, imagine clematis being an annual. It is hard for me to imagine! Yes, I might have teased the roots out in that grandiflora clematis a bit. The others didn't really warrant it but the white one might have benefitted. However, I was of the opinion that it should be really grateful after all that deep rock excavation I did for it and just grow vigorously and quickly 😁

[@jasminesharp5582]

I am hoping you post the blooms!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Of course I will 😊

[@frankscales7295]

I have 2 of the group 1 clematis that you have planted Lady of douentza, the white and the pink. You will not be dissapointed I look forward to see the final results when in full flower, These lads can hit a hight of 12 feet, if you decide to cut them after flowering they will make wonderful compost. Thank you again for letting us in to your Lovely garden. Frank

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Good evening, Frank. I had to laugh at the 'Lady of Douentza' title. You shouldn't be giving me ideas above my station 😁 I really look forward to seeing those masses of flowers in spring and thank you for your words of wisdom. Have a good evening.

[@faunalife2906]

Will that conifer start to regrow again eventually under the clematis I wonder or has it been too badly injured? Anyway tangutica is supposed to be one of best clematis types for bees.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

No, the conifer will not regrow. With a few exceptions, conifers do not regrow from old wood.

Hello. I love your garden. In the opening video what is the name of the tall plant behind you. It seems to have purple stems, tiny pink flower heads, tall and form a beautiful clump. Kind regards. Kate

Hello Kate and thank you for your kind words. I guess you are talking about eupatorium, Joe Pyeweed. The border behind me, the Green Border, is featured in the series I am running at the moment so you may be interested in taking a look... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5vZgYqXZq10p5I

Where did you purchase the clemitas mintana .. I live in Wexford also and can not seem to find a really hardy plant .. have been getting tiny ones in garden centres which all get eaten by slugs ! Trying for three years now .. help would be appreciated ! Thanks for the tips 💜

I think o got them on Beechdale Garden Centre.
