Clematis

Clematis are a garden favorite. Most Clematis require a trellis (or shrub) to attach to. Clematis do not like acidic soil. Pruning information differs depending on variety. See the Article Clematis for more information. Non hybrid varieties such as alpina and paniculata tend to have profuse smaller flowers. More information at the page bottom.  Pruning group explanations at bottom of this page. Add dolemetic lime to soil when planting and yearly for best health.

Pruning Groups Group A   Blooms only on previous years growth. Only prune out deadwood in May. Group B1 Blooms on last years growth early, then less on current years growth in late summer Group B2 Bloom on both old stems and new stems. Both B types remove weak or dead stems in early spring, cut some partially to ensure next years blooms. Group C Bloom only on current years growth. Cut these varieties hard in early spring down to two strong buds per stem....(6-12")

Many Clematis can grow well in partial shade, as they prefer a cool location. When planting in full sun areas try to shade the bottom part of the Clematis with leafy plants. Growing Clematis up shrubs showcases them well. Choose shrubs which get at least 3 meters tall and which do not require frequent pruning. We have good luck with Lilac (Syringa), Serviceberry (Amalanchier), and Amur Maple (Acer ginnala).
