I have a Clematis Flammula plant. It's gorgeous when it's in bloom. But it's HUGE and it's taking over. We don't really want to relocate the plant because it's in the perfect spot and it does what we need it to do. (it provides shade for our air conditioner unit) Can these plants be divided? Thinned out like you can do to other plants when they get too big. If I can how would I go about doing that, when is the right time?
Can a Clematis be divided?
yeah, plants are really resiliant. Most survive even the harshest trimming (I wouldn't recommend this though!) Not sure where u are in the world so it would depend on the season. Trim in late autumn/early spring.
Reply:dont dig up it all just dig arround the edge and remove and replant or make some gardener happy with the roots in the early spring for you in chi town late may
