Clematis are pretty hard to beat for adding beauty to your garden in surprising locations. You can grow them up a wall, trellis, arbor, gazebo, fence or even a tree. It’s when we have to decide when to prune clematis that the problem starts. Because not all clematis have the same growth habits, they must be treated differently. Fortunately for the gardener, clematis fall into one of three groups for clematis pruning. If you have ever been confused about when to prune your clematis, the following info will help set you straight.

Julie on Aug 25, 2013I always heard the rule of thumb, is to plant in a hole at least 19 inches across, the roots need to be shaded but the vines like the sun. I have several throughout my yard, some completely out of control, but I have never had any luck with the evergreen one. Anyone know any tricks for that one?
