I looooooooooove clamatis flowers...................?

My husband killed my clamatis vine. It was almost dead when we bought our house and I nursed it back to health and it was growing for several years. I want to get another one and I would like to know how to go about planting it as I have never planted flowers before. I would also want to know how to get my snow on the mountains back growing around my house. My HUSBAND again killed off half of these and I want them back to nice and thick again since he has agreed not to mow or spray around the house that is now my job to take care of it THANK GOD.......Someone have advise on both of them and what or how to do it???

Most of your local nurseries carry clematis, I love them too and have them all around my house. They are an amazingly hardy little vine, as long as they are well mulched. You would dig your hole twice as big as the clematis pot that it came in, water well, and keep moist for about a month. Mulch well with old hay or straw, keeping the roots moist and cool until it is established.


Your snow on the mountain should just reseed itself if there were any left alive, and by mid summer you should see them making a come back.
Reply:Your best bet is to google the flower and read about planting and growing them..It will vary from zone to zone, soil conditions and sunlight. They do not like full sun at all. My fav flower too.
Reply:i like the jackmans clematis. the flowers are HUGE and purpule. i would give it some miracle gro plant food, or some other type of plant food that works well. all plant food needs time to work about 2 weeks. also try putting it in a sunny location with good dranage and water daily, 2 x a day if it is REALLY HOT

Reply:Clematis love their heads in the sun, and feet in the shade. Which means you want to keep mulch around the base to retain moisture but plant in a sunny location and be sure to give it something to climb on! They are one of my favorites also and fortunately pretty hardy so you should not have a problem. I will be planting some this evening.





Happy gardening!
