SPRING
PRUNE FEED

Once clematis are established they take very little effort to keep them in good
condition. Aside from pruning, a good mulch of well-rotted manure in
spring will look after them most of the time.
Pruning will encourage healthier growth and more flowers. Click
on 'Pruning Clematis' from the left-hand menu.
The best is a mulch of well-rotted compost 50cm (20in) or so
around the base of the plant. Where you have no compost, dig a
good couple of handfuls of bonemeal into the top soil around the plant.

Message: I got my first clemates this early summer. We live in Alaska and was wondering if anybody could tell me how to keep it over the winter. I have the clemates in a big pot. We already had frost and is in the 30's right now.
