Kennedy's
guide for growing healthy Clematis:
~ For best results plant Clematis in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
~ Clematis prefer a cool root system. Plant a low or medium-size perennial
at the base of the vine to keep the soil from becoming too hot in the summer.
~ Add lime to the soil at time of planting. Clematis prefer a
"sweet" or alkaline soil. Check soil pH if you want to be sure.
~ Give the vine something it can grab onto such as a trellis, chicken wire or a
shrub.
~ When liming the lawn every spring or fall, take a handful out of the spreader
and sprinkle around the soil surface of your Clematis. This will help
maintain the pH.
~ If one of the stems bends and creases it will die from that point forward and
it should be should be cut off to prevent disease from entering.
~ Watch out for disease. Prune out any diseased branches.
~ Apply Soil Soup to the foliage and soil every two weeks during the growing
season to discourage disease and increase the plants ability to absorb
nutrients.
~ Fertilize with Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish and Seaweed blend during the
growing season.
Pruning Clematis:
As a rule Clematis categorized in three groups.
Group one consists of the early flowering varieties. These Clematis
usually form their flower buds the previous season. Therefore any pruning
should be done after they finish flowering in late spring. At this time
remove dead and weak stems and it is then okay to cut back any growth that is
growing outside the bounds you set for the plant. With some varieties, this
light pruning may encourage a second wave of flowers.
Group two are mostly the mid-season flowering types. All dead &
weak stems should be removed in late winter or early spring and the remaining
stems should be cut back to about half the size the plant was last year.
Try to alternate where you prune each stem so it does appear to be uniform.
This will stimulate spring or early summer flowers.
Group three includes most summer and fall flowering Clematis. This
group performs best with a hard pruning. It is safe to prune this group to
about 12-30"' from the ground. For best results, do this pruning in
late winter or early spring. Some gardeners prefer to do this in the late
fall give the plant a "cleaner" appearance. Fall pruning is
okay, but the plant does not have time to "heel" from the cuts, so be
prepared for additional winter dieback.
