Clematis Plants
Clematis plants serve many different roles in the garden. Clematis plants are climbers, so they can be trained to climb up fences and screen vision into a garden. The bright blooms of a clematis plant will also add color to a garden from late winter all the way through until late autumn. Clematis plants come in a variety of colors and grow to different heights, depending on species.

Clematis plants will also add a level of dynamics to a garden from season to season. This is because many breeds of clematis will change bloom color from year to year. This can be seen most dramatically in clematis plants that are grown in full sun. This is one of the aspects of clematis plants that make them particularly attractive to beginner and professional gardeners alike.

The pruning of clematis plants will affect when and how they will bloom. Improperly pruning a clematis plant will rarely kill it, but will likely delay the bloom until further into the season. How to prune a clematis plant depends greatly on species, and varies based on how and where the clematis blooms. Not pruning a clematis will not affect its ability to bloom, yet it may limit the number of blooms produced.

Clematis plants are available from several different locations. Many local nurseries and garden centers will have several types of clematis for sale. Online and mail-order plant suppliers will also have a good selection of clematis plants. For the greatest diversity in selection of clematis plants, however, there are clematis nurseries that focus solely on sale and distribution of the clematis plant.
