Carli Gazoorian- Does a clematis like sun or shade?

Clematis like a lot of sun, but their roots need to be protected from sun. Find a sunny location to plant the clematis and then either mulch over the roots or underplant with a sun loving bedding plant to help block the sun from the root system.





Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Clematis like sun, but their roots must be shaded and mulched. You should add compost or well-rotted manure to the hole when planting. Clematis flowers are fragile and are easily damaged by wind. It is important to determine your type of clematis regarding pruning--some clematis bloom on the previous season's wood growth; some bloom on the current season's wood growth; some bloom on both.
