Growing Clematis in Pots

Ken thank you for this outstanding overview of growing clematis in general and also how to do it in pots. Last year I was considering different ways to plant clematis in my garden and you have just opened a whole New World for me and possibilities for my patio and porch thank you so much.

This video has inspired me to try my hand growing clematis. I need a day in the dirt to get out of the doldrums. Thank you for motivating me in this direction.

Great news! Ken Black Is back! Seems like I have watched each of your videos 2 or more times and shared them with friends. Each time I learn a bit more. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom with us. I love the idea of bending the integrafolia into an arch! Also the fact that Mrs Cholmondeley died. I thought I was one of the few avid growers that had deaths. I love putting pots in pots because it allows us to have more clematis. Also in my area to plant directly in a ceramic pot would cause the pot to crack. This fall I will be digging up many clematis in my yard and adding them to my fenced patio because deer have been eating the leaves and buds up to 5'. my only other alternative is to put a 5' fence around each clematis and keep them in clematis prison. When I winter over clematis in plastic pots I round them up and cover them with lots of clippings from ornamental grasses. They survive just fine in my zone 7/6 Each year I seem to learn a bit more and buy more,,,,,after 50+ I really stopped counting. Your videos are a true gift to those of us who love clematis and want to learn. Thank you, Judy from Wading River, Long Island, NY

I really like the idea of bottomless pot.

Firstly you have a beautiful garden and your knowledge and presentation on clematis has been very helpful Thank You

What a joy to watch you in your garden! Thank you for a really useful video. Clematis are one of my favourites, but I now live in Ireland where it's often wet, so your use of pots has given me food for thought.

Thank you for taking your time and knowledge. From US

Ken its so good to see you! I didn't think you were coming back. What a fantastic video. This has helped me a lot. I have many clematis but have planted some in the ground and now I wish I had kept them in pots haha. Explaining how you grow them on and around things is a fantastic help to us I think. I have bought many clematis that grow just too tall and I can't see the heads up that high so watching how you train clematis would make a fantastic video as a follow on to this one. It was a brilliant watch and has gave me many ideas. Thanks so much for sharing. Your garden is looking beautiful as always

Thank you! I just purchased one and was planning to place it in the ground. Your idea is excellent! I have a lot of decidious fruit trees and the place doesn't look great in the Winter, so I do not need to add the leafeless Clematis to them. Also, it would be so much easier to move the plant out of the ceramic pot.

You have given me a lot to think about. I really like the ideas you have shown in this video. Thank you for sharing.

Watching from NZ. Enjoyed your presentation, great ideas. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos

You have inspired me greatly. Thank you.

Great advice. Such a lovely garden. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ken from Boston, MA. I accidentally discovered your channel and is so glad I watched to the end. You are a wealth of information. I have a clematis I purchased as a bare root and planted in a pot. This will be it 3rd year and was thinking of putting in the ground. With your tips and tricks, I will keep in a pot. Thank you for giving a different perspective.

Most enjoyable and informative. Thank you.

Amazing collection. Thank you for sharing.
