🌸 Clematis
Clematis
'Head in the sun, feet in the shade': clematis is planted in spring or autumn with its base shaded by a tile or a perennial. The late-winter prune depends on its flowering group.

The tips that matter
- Shade the base without fail (tile, small shrub): cool roots are THE condition for success.
- Plant the crown 8-10 cm deep: if clematis wilt strikes, the plant can regrow from below.
- Large summer hybrids: cut to 30-50 cm in February. Spring bloomers (montana): light trim AFTER flowering only.
