Early Clematis in the Rain
Comments (7)Is this the year that the clematises on the veggie garden arbour should be really taking off and producing a massive show? I've been looking forward to that ever since you built that.... By the looks of what you've posted above, your clematises are in fine form already! So don't forget to post shots of the arbour ones when they peak.......See MoreClematis Clematis Clematis
Comments (12)PM, there is chicken wire on each section of the arbor. Not all of the plants are climbers though, so there is string tying several plants up. On the fence behind the baptisia is clematis Blue Belle. Woody, I really like Pagoda. And Blue Boy too. And a ton of others too obviously! Aotearoa is a really strong grower for me too. You might give it a try if you find one. I know Lost Horizons had it at one point. Maybe worth a call to them to see if they'd put one of these 3 plants aside for you. They were all a tangled mess when I was last there....See MoreI want a Clematis, now what?
Comments (7)I agree with BorS - clematis in the PNW are pretty darn easy :-) Several of the better mail order sources are located here as well as one of the largest west coast wholesale growers. And if you can grow all the other plants you list, you should be able to grow clematis, too. To avoid wilt, pick species clematis or those included in pruning group 3 - most of these are very resistant. I have not even had many issues with powdery mildew. Just prepare the soil and planting hole careful, puchase a mature plant (1G or larger) or grow a smaller one on in a container, plant deeply and prune hard the first couple of seasons. Make sure they do not dry out in our usually rainless summers. Fall is an ideal time to plant but I plant whenever I snag one at the nursery :-) You should be good to go!...See MoreMN 2016 Clematis Growth and Blooms
Comments (3)Wow !! So beautiful and lush you would never know you were parched and a snack for wild life ;). How old are the Clem's ? Mine have such a long way to go! In the first pic , are your Clem's on an old tree or lamp post ? I love them all but that's my favorite!!...See Morejlsch
