We’re clamoring for Clematis! Here are our tips for growing this perennial flowering vine: 1. Planting: Choose a location with at least 6 hours of sunlight, but keep the root area shaded, as clematis prefer their “feet” in the cool and “heads” in the sun. Planting a small shrub or groundcover at the base can help achieve this. 2. Watering: Clematis vines need consistent moisture. Water them regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In our area, this might mean more frequent watering

Clematis… whether you pronounce it “Cleh-mah-tis” or “Clem-ah-tis” it’s a lovely climber that won’t pull your structure down. (If you’ve ever planted trumpet vine, you know!) Give it shade at it’s feet, and a little time. It’s sure to delight! #clematis #garden #flowers | Life at the Nest
