How do I move a clematis plant that has been at the same place for over 5 years?

No problem...just dig out from the plant about 8 inches all the way around. This will insure you get all out bound roots. I would use a spade shovel and go with that depth. What I mean is push the shovel in the ground and then pry up.


Just dig your hole you are moving it too big enough for the root ball and plant like normal. Be sure to give it water every day...maybe even twice a day!

Yes, carefully dig it up not damaging the roots. First you may want to trim the vines back to about one foot.
Reply:Make sure not to desturb the root bulb, it will go into shock, but it will come back, get as much of the root as possible, good luck.
