Another way to make the most of your yard landscape is by planting lovely rambling vines. There’s nothing more stately or romantic than deep green tendrils winding around fences and columns, especially when you’ve chosen a delicate, flowering vine species. Clematis is one of the showiest vines we have, and it would look great in your yard. It offers blossoms of blue, purple, red, pink, or white. We recommend growing this versatile vine on a fence, on a trellis, or in a container. Or, for a more laissez-faire gardening style, let them ramble and scramble over your shrubs and perennials.
Clematis Planting Guide When to Plant: Fall and spring are good times, because the weather is cool. How to Grow: Plant clematis in fertile, loose, well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. It likes cool roots, so plant where the leaves get sun but roots are shaded. How to Fertilize: Feed monthly in spring and summer with an organic fertilizer labeled for roses or tomatoes. When to Prune: Some types bloom on new growth and some on old growth. When you buy, ask at the nursery what type you have and when you should prune. Where to Buy: Local garden centers have lots of choices in spring. Good mail-order sources include Brushwood Nursery and Joy Creek Nursery.
