How To Plant Clematis
PLANTING CLEMATIS
Once established, clematis will generally look after themselves. They
do however, need to be pampered in their first two years if they are to
give of their best. Care in how you plant clematis will go a long way to
getting them off to a good start.
Clematis can be planted at any time of the year when there is moisture
in the soil. The best times are in late
autumn
or mid-spring. Clematis
like cool and moist conditions around their roots, so water well for the
first six months or so after planting.
Clematis
need to be supported and the diagram below shows how a clematis should
be planted against a wall. Note that the top of the plant is 15cm
(6in) or so below ground level. This will encourage new shoots to grow
from the base of the plant. Note also that the clematis is planted 45cm
(18in) or so away from the wall to allow moisture to reach the roots.

Planting
clematis to grow up a wigwam or other structure will follow all the
basic rules above. The only slight difference being how the clematis is attached
to the support.
