Our Warranty - Country Blooms will guarantee to replace once free of charge any climber for the value of the original price that fails to live for the current growing season, providing the death is not caused from animal, mechanical, frost, hail, or wind damage.

Climbers

Clematis: Clematis requires full sun to grow best (6+ hours direct sun per day) though some dappled shade during the heat of the day is beneficial. The site should be open enough to allow for air movement around the plants. Soil should be rich and well-draining with a pH close to neutral (7.0). Though the plant's stems and foliage should be in sun, the roots like a cool, moist environment.


Pruning Groups

Knowing how to prune your clematis will give you success with your clematis

and guarantees a show every year. Most clematis fall into one of three basic

pruning groups, based on when they bloom!


Group A: These are the clematis that bloom early in the season, on last

years growth. Prune them lightly right AFTER they flower, the new growth

put on this year will produce next years flowers.


Group B: These are the clematis that are early to mid-season bloomers with

large flowers that bloom on the previous year’s growth. Remove the dead

bits by cutting them back to the next pair of live buds.


Group C: These are the late bloomers, and if pruning is not consistently

done, the base of the plant will become woody and bare, and the flowers will

be way overhead and out of reach. In early spring, cut it all the way back to

just above a pair of strong buds, leaving about a foot of the old stem. It

blooms on current years growth, so don’t be afraid of cutting it back hard!
