No, clematis is very strong. Think about it, it lasted thru a harsh winter. Most perennials don't need to be covered, in threat of a frost. I do alot of gardening and actually I have clematis myself. You don't need to worry ;)
In June 2007 we planted some clematis , Theres a chance of frost tonight ,Should i cover these plants up ?
You're probably okay. I don't imagine you're having a hard frost, just that the temperature is going below freezing for some period of time. If you want to be extra certain, you could cover the clematis with an old sheet, but be sure to remove it tomorrow morning.
Reply:You don't have to cover them, just make sure you have the roots covered with some mulch, like leaves or regular mulch. I live in Minnesota and mine live through all of our terrible winters. Good Luck.
Reply:Yes it is worth it for all the time, expense and work you did so farespecially if it is in an unprotected area, windy, or northern exposure. Covering will help avoid a delay in flowering.
