Clematis are the Kings and Queens of vines. They have a wide range of colors in the white, pink, red, blue to purple hues. They are a wonderful addition to any garden. There are three main groups of clematis. They are grouped according to their pruning requirements.

WHERE TO PLANT CLEMATIS

Clematis requires a moist but well drained location. Up against a sunny or semi sunny wall or fence is ideal. Be sure not to plant them under the overhang as Clematis enjoy having moist feet. A good organic soil with lots of manure is perfect. Once planted their roots need to be covered with mulch. This will keep the roots cool and moist.
