VINES

 

 

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.
