Newest Clematis

 Today was my day to take the one gallon 

newest babies from fall and the first of 

this year and bump them up into 3 gallon

pots.  Here is the finish Setup for them.

The ones I got in the fall were cut back

and the younger ones were let go to grow.  

A couple weeks ago I started the summer cut 

back and I'm already seeing new growth.

We have had some hot weather so I tend 

to do the cut back after the 4th of July and 

if you do so make sure you fertilizer with

a 20/20/20 fertilizer.  I do this weekly and

when they are around a few feet tall then 

I'll switch to a bloom booster.

  

Here are our two largest

ones all cut back!

5 more to go and 3 will need

larger pots!

A grower suggested tree

sleeves on a group I belong

to so I decided to give it

a try due to having to cut

pots from some of the ones

I just potted up.   Here is

the newest Clematis in 

a tree sleeve and potted 

into a larger pot.

Today I posted this on the FB 

clematis group and I hope this

helps others.

Today I finally got to finish 

the cut back on all the Clematis.

Here is the last one.

She was a small plant when I

put her in the one gallon pot

in April.  She was a cutting off

one plant that I lost.  She was

given the right spot in the hosta

pot by the front door, morning 

sun and afternoon shade.    

Here is her bloom.

I took cutting and keep your toes crossed

that they take off!!
