Clematis General Information

Clematis are prized for their incredible flowers, most as large as your hand. "Queen of the Climbers" will train onto trellises, fences or arch over doorways. Stunning when used alone or when several colors are mixed. Grower's tip: Truest colors require full sun, as any shade will introduce purple tones. Flower color and bloom size may vary while the plant is establishing. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Clematis Plant Care

Pruning Type 3. Clematis have some personality quirks. They are one of the few plants that like to be planted deeper. Pick a full sun site and have your trellis in place. Have a deep hole dug – 8-10" – with some compost in the bottom. Gently place the pot (minus the wrapper) into the hole so that the first set of leaf nodes (the bud where the leaf sprouts from) is below ground. Remove any leaves that will be under the soil. Fill the hole halfway and tie the top growth to your trellis (leave the stick it shipped with in place for now) and water. Finish filling the hole with good soil, and water well. Your Clematis will appreciate a low growing plant at its feet to shade its roots. TYPE 3: This group blooms later and on new growth. Prune in early spring as new leaf buds begin to show. Remove any dead brittle material above these buds. Stems can be trimmed low if desired at this time to encourage branching. If intertwining Clematis, pruning will be easier if you select varieties with the same pruning type. Want to sort by pruning type? In the main search box, type Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 to group them together.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
