PLANTING CLEMATIS:
- When planting clematis, you should be extremely careful and gentle with its roots as they are very fragile.
- If your plant has a very small trellis in the pot, consider having someone help you pull it out gently.
- Dig a hole (preferably near a fence, balcony, or trellis – somewhere where the vine can climb) that’s about twice the size of the root ball.
- Place the plant no deeper than soil level.
