How fast does clematis grow in a season?
i have quite a few of these plants and the first year they seem to grow more slowly... 2nd year and up the grow like vines...up up and away...........lol
there are thousands of variates of the clematis and they are all beautiful
How fast does clematis grow in a season?
It really depends on the plant type . Autumn Clematis can grow
15 - 20 feet in a season, while the other types ( Nelly Moser , Jackmanii , etc, ) will average 8 - 12 feet . It does take a few years to get established , but once its well rooted , which can take a few seasons, it will grow quite reliably. It really does fit one description
of perennials that I like ...
The frst year it sleeps, the second , it creeps, the third , it leaps !
Reply:once established,,grows like a weed! takes a few years to get there,,,but then you will be trimming it often

Any experts on Clematis?
Some of my clematis have withered and appear to have died lately. Do they die back in the autumn?
Any experts on Clematis?
Hi
Most Clematis are deciduous (loose leaves in winter), and it is completely natural for them to wither and fall off. If this is the case trim the plant in accordance to its flowering period IE; if it flowers in spring - do not prune till after flowering, if it flowers in summer or autumn cut back to 1m in spring (if it looks untidy lightly trim now)
However if the leaves were fine and suddenly wilted it could be Clematis Wilt, where the plant withers and seems to die in 1 or 2 days. Worry not though just prune to near the base and the plant will regrow next season. there is no chemical treatment for this disease and deep planting (5-10cm) below ground is the answer.
If you wanted your Clematis to be evergreen there are many excellent varieties to choose from. Armandii, Wisely Cream, Jingle Bells, Balearica, O. Valley etc, etc. of which some are fragrant.
Reply:This is normal - cut back now to 6" from the base and it will shoot again next year.
Reply:YES THEY DO DIE BACK,BUT LEAVE IT,BECAUSE IT CAN BUD AGAIN.ONLY TRIM IT BACK A BIT.MAKE SURE THE ROOTS AND PLANT BASE ARE SHADED.

How big does clematis montana fragrant spring get?
Montanas will just keep growing. They are the "weeds" of clematis - very hardy plants. I once really chopped my M. Rubens right back and thought I'd killed it, but no - back it came, bushier than ever!
Reply:All Montanas are prolific. You have to be prepared to cut it down in February to about a metre high.
Reply:Montana meaning 'from the mountains' is the clue that they grow so large they could almost cover one. So, unless you are willing to spend time keeping it under control or are happy to let it go and do it's thing I would suggest that you choose another.
The montana varieties flower just once in early summer, there are lots of clematis that will give a second flush of flowers.
You do not say what growing conditions you have, they are many different types of clematis so there will be one to suit where you would like to plant. Check with a specialist clematis nursery.
Reply:A clematis montana rubens in our garden covers a 15 metre high prunus amanagowa and has spread through all the branches-no chance of cutting that back!
It really depends on the position but the montana's a clue,meaning "mounting" and it'll grow as high as allowed.
Reply:Clematis Montana is huge. It can grow 25ft wide and 25ft tall

I've just moved house and inherited a huge old clematis Rubens Montana. When should I prune and how far back.
The Montana is a particularly beautiful and early flowering clematis. If it were mine and I had the space I would NEVER prune it. However I realise that you might want to as they do grow everywhere!
I am really no help at all to you but glad to see that you are keeping the plant and not getting rid of it. take a picture of it before you prune, just to remind you!

This website gives you a few links to useful clematis websites.
The lady that runs this website adores her clematiseseses so she knows what she's talking about!

Reply:Montanas need no pruning but can be pruned to size. Once it has finished flowering remove all weak growth and any growth that you do not want. It comes under pruning group 1 for clematis.
NB Make sure once pruned you give it a good feed of compost mixed with manure. Clematis are hungry plants!

Can I plant a clematis now? What would be the best time for zone 5-6?
Pot-grown clematis can be planted anytime of year. The ideal time for planting is spring and early fall. Plant in well-drained soil.
In colder climates where temperatures drop below 0°F (-20°C) foundation planting and mulch are required to ensure a long life. High light and long days can be ideal growing conditions for clematis if a little care is taken when planting. Most varieties will survive and flourish. Double flowering varieties are usually not recommended in colder zones.
http://www.homeofclematis.net/html/pl_01...
In hardiness Z5 or below, be sure you plant the crown of your clematis at least 2" below ground.
you can actually bury your clematis up to its lowest leaf node -- even if there's a foot of vine before the first leaf! Your reward: a bigger beefier plant that will undoubtedly have more than one stem, which is the final, ultimate, hidden key to the perfect clematis vine.
http://www.npr.org/programs/talkingplant...
Deep planting encourages large-flowered cultivars to develop a healthy basal root crown of buds below the soil level as a precaution against sudden wilting. When the plant is in position, fill the area around the root ball with equal parts of good soil and potting compost mixed with the recommended amount of any general-purpose fertilizer. Gently firm the mixture around the root ball. Cover the base of the plant with additional organic matter used at the base of the planting hole, taking care to keep it away from the stems or vines. When mounded, it serves as a mulch to prevent excessive loss of moisture. Water the plant well, allowing at least 1 gallon of water per plant.

Plant a low-growing perennial or shrub close to the newly planted clematis to provide some shade for the plant's root system %26amp; to prevent excessive loss of moisture.
Good luck! Hope this was helpful.

Fall is a pretty good time to plant perennials. The rate of success is lower than spring planting but I have many beautiful plants that I planted in September and October the first year I moved into my home.
I also lost a few, so be prepared, it may or may not survive. Reality check though, I have lost a few perennials over the winter that were spring planted too. You just never know.

Clematis cut to ground- will it regrow?
My clematis plants- I don't know what type of clematis I had- was cut down to the ground by a falling trellis- will it regrow?
Clematis cut to ground- will it regrow?
Yes, there is a p ractice used on clematis called coppicing. That is where hardy shrubs such as clematis--that are grown for their foliage, stem coloration, or flower on new growth may be pruned back heavily to the first pair of buds above the soil line. It actually should put out more limbs and flower better than it did. So you should look forward to a beautiful plant in spring!
Reply:Your plant should be fine. Clematis send up new shoots from the base so don't worry.
For future reference you may be interested to know that there are three groups of clematis that require different pruning regimes. This link will help you.
http://www.gardenforum.demon.co.uk/clema...
Reply:It should have no problem coming back next spring. This is usually the normal pruning procedure used because clematis can get somewhat out of hand. You should see new growth begin to sprout from the crown of the plant just below the soil when the weather begins to warm up next spring. Hope this answers your question.
