Clematis is the most spectacular of all flowering vines. They require sun to
partial shade and grow beautifully along a fence, on a lamp post, trellis or
arbor. Clematis prefer rich, loose, well-drained garden soil. In acid soil
areas, add 1/4 cup lime into the planting hole and again top dress with lime in
the Fall. Their only requirement is cool, moist roots, so be sure to mulch; or
add a little color by planting a low growing flower at the base of the plant. Be
patient with your clematis. With good cultural practices, the first year the
roots will grow down, the second year the plant will appear somewhat lazy, and
the third year the plant will go crazy with beauty.
