    Thank you for this informative video. Your information is very clear. Only one small thing. A clematis does fine in a plastic container. I have mine in black, plastic containers for years and they are doing fine. I have them both flanking my front door facing west. They are blasted by the sun from late morning till sundown. My trick: when it’s hot, water them twice. Once in the morning and once in the evening. This keeps their roots cool too. I have other plants to the front in the same pot and they also keep the roots cool. As the old saying goes: they want their face in the sun and feet in the shadow….

    Thank you for such a helpful video....it’s just what I needed
  • Fab video, thank you. I have these pots also, I was also unsure about stones in the base so that’s good to know. Looks lovely!
  • This short simple no-nonsense demo was exactly what i needed having just bought my first clematis ‘sunset’. Thanks for helping me to plant it with confidence 😊👍🏻

  • @TonyaA7
    I brought bare roots. One died before it ever grew. The other is growing good. I hope I get to see some pretty flowers...

    Great video, I might have missed it, what # fertilizers and how often do you feed them?
  • @robertt4176
    I had no idea you could pot 2 . I bought a apple Blossom and have an established Montana... would I still be able to pot together? I have a high tall planter
  • @caroldurand6803
    Great info thanks. Just wondering how you would untangle the plant from the cone support thing if you ever wanted to change/move it?
  • @Passionbloom52
    Awesome video & wish I would of added some Pearlite in to the soil now , as planted them in to the ground
  • @user-yv8rx8rg1u
    What do you do with it in the winter months. Will it freeze out side in the pot.
  • @geminil2415
    I know nothing at all about gardening and I have just bought a clematis No3. It is small in probably a 3" pot. Can I plant it straight out into the garden and how often should I feed it?
  • @sakethk4184
    Should we repot immediately after purchase. We just got one from Costco here in Texas, and the pot is 8 inches wide. Can I let it be for this year and repot during winter.
  • @patriciat5323
    I'm in Edmonton Canada 🇨🇦freezing here in winter. I just purchased my clematis. I will follow instructions in this great video. Do I need to move it in winter time? I was going to put it in the ground but now the pot seems a great idea. I'm just concerned about winter cold Any ideas clematis lovers? Thanks 😊🙏

    does the crown not rot if its submerged below the surface of compost? Ken black suggests it needs to be level or proud of the potting compost.
