Fix the trellis vertically,inserting spacers so it's clear of the surface and to enable the tendrils of the clematis to cling,the plant will then be self-supporting.
If about to plant a clematis,do so in such a way that one or two leaf joints are below the soil.Planting like this means the plant can be cut back if clematis wilt occurs.
Assuming the trellis is being fixed to a wall,plant the clematis 4-6" away,so that rainfall reaches it and provide a cane or pea stick as. support
What is the best angle from the vertical for a clematis trellis?
It's not going to matter to the clematis. What ever is stable. They'll climb it if it's in any way going "up".
As far as what conditions clematis like - they like to have their base in the shade, and the top in the sun.
Reply:The only thing a Clematis wants/needs, is it roots in the shade? and water too!
Reply:96 degrees in the shade
