Who does not love Clematis?

I Love Clematis and want more, more, more!!!

They are very easy to grow.  They like their tops in sun, and their roots in shade.

You can provide root shade with rocks or heavy mulch.

Clematis also bloom differently, some bloom on old wood,

some bloom on new wood, and some bloom on both.

So you have to prune them differently. Every few year, I hack them back to about 2 feet tall,

 and I dont worry about the blooming types.

They always come back strong. 

However, you might miss a year of blooms if you do it my way. 

Ramona! Oh Ramona!
