VINE Clematis
(mixed varieties) CLEMATIS, ASSORTED
We grow a
good selection of varieties with a good choice of colors and flower shapes and
sizes. Some types of clematis bloom on new wood, some on old wood. During
extreme winter conditions, clematis can die back to the ground. If they only
bloom on old wood, they would not bloom, so we grow those varieties that bloom
on new wood. Pruning back to 12"-18" above ground in spring will insure a
vigorous and healthy vine. Zone 4.
