Plant Clematis for beautiful blooms.
If you have ever seen a mature clematis vine in an old garden, then you’ll have seen a glimpse of gardening heaven. To say its breathtaking is an understatement. The large dramatic blooms are well worth it during the heat of summer. Some of the flowers seem iridescent when struck by the sun.
Clematis like their feet in the shade and their heads in the sun. They’ll take 5-6 hours of sun or all day filtered light. To provide a cool area for the roots, you can add mulch, plant a ground cover or use large flat stones to cover and cool the root area. Always provide support for them. You can use a trellis, tree trunk, or open framework to keep them growing in the right direction.
