When
growing clematis, the proper time and method of planting will
make caring for the plant much easier. Clematis react to the
different seasons of the year in much the same way as bulbs,
meaning that whenever the ground is workable, clematis can
be planted. However, in mild regions, a planting of clematis
in the fall will result in a more robust root system and an
easier to manage plant the following growing season.
Another
important aspect of growing clematis is how and when to prune.
Pruning clematis differently will result in different bloom
times and quantities. Clematis should all be pruned in late
February to March, removing any dead or weak stems. Care throughout
the growing season will then differ depending on how and when
the particular clematis blooms.
