Thank you for this informative video. I hadn’t realised that plastic containers are not the best thing to use for clematis. A very useful and easy to follow explanation.
Yes, they don't offer much insulation. Get hot in summer and cold in winter. We are pleased to hear you found our efforts helpful.

@@jheiny1231 I cannot afford the gigantic ceramic pot needed for an effective privacy barrier on my balcony. I just put the plastic pot on a Styrofoam piece in winter and wrap it in many layers of bubble wrap. Also my pots are literally 70 liter dustbins which are plenty large and very cheap. Gardening needn't be an expensive hobby.
@@jacob1121 if your going with privacy your better off with morning glories. Clematis kinda give up after flowering. And they tend to flower early in the summer. Morning glories grow almost viscously from time of planting to time of winter die off
Thank you. It is great to hear that our video helped and that you are now able to enjoy all the fun and beauty of growing these gorgeous and rewarding plants.
Such a wealth of practical, much needed information - I'm an absolute lover of Clematis, and I so appreciate this video, Overdevest Nurseries and Mr. Evison! Thank you, thank you from the north Atlanta suburbs!
You are very welcome. We are glad to hear you found this helpful and hope that you get lots of pleasure and enjoyment out of growing these fabulous plants. .
I've never had the courage to grow these magnificent plants in a container. But... I will do so now. Thank you for such an inspiring and informational video. ❤️

Here's a link to our website that will show you many of the fabulous varieties that he has developed: grownbyoverdevest.com/splant/?_sfm_genus=Clematis Then when you are ready, you can go along and see the plants at our participating garden centers, here's a link that will help you find where they are located: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/
I have 12 clematis, of different varieties, all Boulevard types, which are good for patio growing, in large pots, on the 6x6 posts of a very large covered patio! I forget now how I learned about planting these beauties, but I did it just this way, and they all are very happy, blooming fools, climbing up 8' of trellises nailed directly to the posts, with 1" dividers between trellises and posts! I can tell you that these plants are absolutely the queens of the garden, and they perform spectacularly every year! I would recommend these vines to anyone who loves climbers, loads of reliable color, some even smell great, with pretty easy care each year!

This was very enjoyable to watch & presents an option I hadn't considered, that of growing a new Clematis vine in a pot. It would be a perfect solution to cover a section of an old screened in area around my back door. I can attach black chicken wire, suggested in another of your videos. Then I'd have a way to attach an attractive wooden trellis to the chicken wire, for the vine to climb. I could keep it in a pot, & pruned to 4' to 5' in its 1st year, at least, which would promote new vines to thicken the plant, thus hiding my trash barrel, recycling bin, etc, & would somewhat block the view of my brick patio beyond, from my new neighbor's view. I have many good sized pots designed to resemble large clay & stone pots, so could sink another pot into a second pot to help shade the foot of the Clematis, & to also provide some insulation from summer sun, rather than planting it directly into the ground., though planting it in the ground would help it survive my Zone 5B/ USA winters. It would only get direct sun in the morning, & would be in good light the rest of the day, with some sun coming from the West, later in the day, but somewhat shaded by the enclosing structure around the back door. Thanks - you've got me thinking!
Wonderful, we are glad to hear that our efforts proved helpful. Don't forget to keep us posted of your progress, we all learn by sharing our experiences. Good luck with your endeavors.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. Just remember, good drainage is very important, and then if you are on the east cost of N. America it will need to be brought indoors during the coldest part of the winter.

Your video was excellent, and your explanation of how and when to water during the summer was very helpful, but can you please tell me how I should water my clematis during the winter months when it's in my garage. Thanks
That's easy.... Just enough to keep them on the dry side of moist - in other words, water sparingly to prevent them drying out, but not so that they ever feel or look soaking wet. The compost will look dry on the surface but when you scratch beneath the upper layer it is moist underneath, not wet but moist

I'm determined to make my new Clamatis thrive! My last one died and I see now it's because it was in a plastic container and hot too hot in the summer.
Great. Cool (shaded) roots, plenty of available moisture in a WELL-DRAINED soil, a decent amount of sun, a good growing variety, and of course starting off with a healthy, well grown plant are the ingredients that will ensure success. If you are planting them out on the ground, you can shade the roots with a deep 2 inch layer of mulch, a big rock set on top of the planting position or growing some silvery leaved perennials that spread out over the immediate area to reflect the sun and keep the soil level several degrees cooler. Dianthus (Garden Pinks), Stachys (Lambs Ears) are examples that you might consider. In nature their fleshy roots delve deep into the soil at the shady base of trees, shrubs and other greenery, and their stems then twine up and out into sunlight to flower. So in our gardens we are really just replicating that, which is where the old saying comes from "heads in the sun roots in the shade"! Here's a link to another of our videos that explains more: ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html And if you are looking for some nice, premium sized, well grown plants let me refer you to our network of partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ they will be able to fix you up with the BEST PERFORMING varieties for this region.
Thanks for this informative vidéo. Vert helpful. I just bought a "First Lady" today from the garden centre. It says it belongs to group B and needs only minor cutting. I was wondering if I still need a heavy cutting in the first year to promote new growth for next year. Will the heavy cutting impact blooming next year? Thanks, I am in Canada.
Thank you for your kind remarks. Our approach with recently planted Clematis, is to build up a strong, vigorous, well-established roots system in the new position which is why we put more emphasis on selecting the correct planting site, the planting technique (size of hole, amendments etc.) rather than pruning etc. I think a lot of the pruning stuff you historically read about relates more to smaller mail order plants that spent time in transit rather than the larger, pot grown specimens that you can pick up at garden centers. That said, there is no harm in encouraging your plants to branch out on a structure with plenty of nice vigorous shoots, so a light trim after planting will reduce the stress on the new root system and encourage a bushy base that will lead eventually to strong, healthy top growth and ultimately lots of flowers. But I return again, to emphasize the critical importance to the part you don't see (the root system, under the ground). If your plant was well-grown, in a good sized pot, with a well stablished root system and had a compost with slow release fertilizer, and you were able to get it planted soon after purchasing without too much disturbance or trauma, and you were able to water it regularly and follow (in general terms) our directions in this video: ruclips.net/video/u51ftUVOfuU/видео.html , then you should find your plant will make a quick and easy transition to the new site, and grow away vigorously with or without a trim.
Good to hear and thank you for sharing that. Mr. Evison was recommending the other types because of their insulation values (keeps the roots cooler in summer and warmer in winter). As you (no doubt) have noticed we grow all our plants are in pots (because they are durable, transport well, and transplant better over a long period), plastic does not offer much insulation value so in our colder areas it is important to protect or bring them indoors to abasement or garage in winter
Love your video. I have just one question, can I mix partial potting soil with compost to fill the pot or is it best to use only compost? Thanks very much
Leslie, Mixing in good quality, free raining soil with organic based compost would be good. It will help fortify the micro nutrients content and also help with re-wetting if the container ever get dry. Just ensure that it is free draining (perhaps even add in some extra drainage material in the base of the pot). As for proportion of soil to compost - remember the old "John Innes' mix (7 parts loam - 3 parts peat (compost) - 2 parts coarse sand) - anything along these lines and you can't go too far wrong.
Thanks, we hope you have many years to enjoy them. When you get a chance, you might like scroll (and search) through the hundreds of other videos here on this channel because there are several other ones that should help you gain more information on the many different varieties of Clematis and their uses.

Is this toxic to cats if they munch on it, if it crawls up the sides of my "catio?" Also, will it damage the fencing or panels it crawls up on? Thank you, very nice informative video.
I've never heard of any ill effects from the foliage. They will climb up any structure that has something for the little leaf stems (petioles) to twine around. They attach the themselves by twining rather than sticking like Ivy or climbing Hydrangea, so you do not need to worry about damage to the structure.
Can you add trailing plants in to the pot with the clematis? Would that impact growth? We have a 31inch length trough with 2 toki clematis within. Would value your advice, thanks
Absolutely, many folk use annuals or trailing perennials. There is a little extra root competition and you might have to water more frequently and perhaps supplement the nutrient - but the results can be stunning. If you watch some of the other videos on this channel you will hear us talking about some options for this. Also, check out the one on growing Clematis in a window box. In this video we use some of the Evison Compact Boulevard varieties to trail and cascade over the edges of a window box.
Yes, that's important. just enough to keep it moist but not soaking wet. Just like outside the compost MUST remain moist. With the lower temperatures you won't have to water them that much - just enough to stop them from dying out.
I bought clematis from a big box store. Had a small wooden trellis in the container. The vines were already close to 3 foot long but what they did was wrap the vines from one side of the trelis to the other side and went back and forth and uses zip ties to hold the vines to the trellis. Came with no directions. What I did was put a larger trellis behind it. Cut the zip ties off and kinda trained the vines around the new trellis as far up as the vines length. Would that be ok?
That's about the best you can do. In time, you can probably cut away the wooden trellis or take it out as it decays. Did you manage to catch some of our other videos on Clematis?

Would that help xxx I would love your expertise advice and I'd be so grateful thank you guys if you answer 😍 you to make me smile when you said you have a vertical garden go on guys you're brilliant
Here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, we recommend growing Clematis in the ground. In our cold winters the roots freeze in pots, so that's why the pots have to be over-wintered indoors in basements, garages or cool unheated rooms. They are perfectly hardy when grown in the ground, so if you have a spot some where that would be preferable. Then can we suggest that you take a little while to scroll through our many videos (here on this channel) on Clematis, because there you will find lots of information and ideas on how to plant, train and look after them. If you haven't come across any of them yet, you could start with this one: "How to Grow, Train & Prune Clematis" ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html Then, have you subscribed to our channel?

Good video.What's the best type of soil for clematis plants and do they need feeding throughout the months? I didn't realise they need frost protection. I've just left mine out year after year. They SEEM to be okay, except 2 have now developed powdery mildew. I assume because i left them out in frost:(
Any average soil will be fine - just so long as its free draining.You can give them a little gentle feeding (at half strength) in the earlier part of the year, just be careful not to over fertilize and I would suggest you stop in mid summer to harden up the growth for winter. Clematis in the ground do not need protection, most of them are very hardy (Zone 4)... its only when you grow them in containers here on the North-eastern and Mid-Atlantic states that the fleshy roots need protection from freezing solid in the pots. Powdery mildew occurs in humid "clamy" weather and is usually worst when the plants don't have free air moving around them - so you might look to see if you can create more air movement by pruning (or moving) any other plants that might be close.
Here's a link to one of our videos that will give you general information on the culture and how to train it etc. ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html The difference between the one featured and your one, is that it flowers earlier and then gives another round of flowering in late summer /Fall. Whereas yours flowers from mid summer to Fall. So early next spring (before grow begins) if you desire, you could prune it back to 12-18" from the ground - this is stimulate new growth and stronger flowering.
Why my new planted clematis armada has fainted tips. It’s started well initially and had 12 cm new growth but when I’ve moved the plant from shaded area to a more open one in the next couple of days I’ve noticed fainted tips. Is it the wind ? Or have I overwater it ? Many thanks Dorota
Hard to say, it could be any of these things and others too. Best thing would be to check with your source of purchase or have someone (an experienced local master gardener, garden coach etc.) take a look at it. An experienced knowledgeable eye will soon help you diagnose the issue and help you work out a plan of action.
Hi, I have two clematis in pots, very young plants I got last summer in uk, but don’t know the names of them, how will I know how to look after them? Thank you 😊
Not sure how we can help you, except suggesting you scroll through our many videos on the Clematis varieties we grow, and see if you can spot similarities when your young plants grow out and flower. Over the years we have posted lots of videos featuring the best selections for our region, and followed this up with advice and guidance from the world's top authorities like Raymond Evison, so hopefully you will find plenty of useful and helpful information.
Yes, just follow the details we outline in this video: ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html and you will have it come back - year after year for MANY years. When you watch the video you will hear me talk about the plant featured being 17-18 years old and I expect it to keep going strong for many years into the future!

Absolutely! And thanks for a great question! We tend to get a little carried away with the old saying "heads in the sun / roots in the shade" but actually quite a few of the varieties are BETTER with a little shade! Bold whites are outstanding (example Ninon: ruclips.net/video/9TTPauCYt7M/видео.html) and the delicate, subtle, nuances of bi-colors are much better, here's a link to this The Countess of Wessex video that will explain: ruclips.net/video/kGq9Jzprdnw/видео.html. The same goes for rich reds, mauves and purples too, their colors are greatly enriched in light or partial shade where they are not bleached by the hot sun. Generally, those with delicate shading flower with richer hues and are much better in shadier spots. In fact, as you will see in this video also filmed with Raymond Evison: ruclips.net/video/Asf8lnulbrE/видео.html we actually shade our plants to get the best from them. So, as long as they get dappled sunlight or sunlight for about 3 -4 hours or so, most of the varieties we stock at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ will be fine (and often, even more glorious) in partial shade. We suggest you take a little time and check out the videos that we feature elsewhere on this channel, to research and pick out your favorites.
Yes, they will need a little water to keep the compost from completely drying out. Its hard to explain (just how much and how often) because the conditions are likely to vary so much from place to place. Suffice to say, that you should give them just enough to keep the compost reasonably moist but not saturated or dried out.
As David mentioned above, it is important to keep them from drying out. They will be in a dormant state but they are still living and need moisture, so make sure to give them enough water to keep the compost moist but not soaking (saturated) wet. We hope this helps explain. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Anne Houghton The nice thing about many of the newer varieties (and especially many of the ones that have been developed by Raymond Evison in recent years) is that they are naturally bushy and compact and flower from the ground upwards. As you will see in several of our videos they are covered with flowers from top to bottom and if you watch in, you will hear Raymond talk about the "pony tail" cut where he prunes them back to about 10-12 inches in spring, thereby encouraging the plants to make fresh bushy growth which later on will carry the flowers. So if your plant gets a big "leggy" and you haven't pruned it, this might get it to flower lower down. That said, there are some types and some older vars. that tend to make a lot of growth first and flower higher up and if you have some of these, there is little you can do except try training some shoots horizontally or training them around a structure at lower levels, so that when they do set flowers, they will be at a level you desire
Absolutely, it might be a good idea to consult with the experts at your local garden center and see if they can recommend two that will grow at about the same rate and like we mention in the video make sure to start with a good generous sized container too. Here's a link that will help you find all the garden centers that stock our plants: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/
They will grow in any kind of container that has a nutritious, free draining compost. I would suggest the appearance of the container matters, so maybe you can construct an outer shell or "dress up" or disguise the grow bag in some way to make it look pleasing.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thank You !!!! ..Ive got some large gro bags.. so I'll plant her into one...and set it inside of a large painted plastic pot !! Thanks for your help !!
They are available at leading garden centers throughout the northeastern United States. The nice thing about that, is that you can get lovely big plants that are usually in flower, so that you can see exactly what they look like, choose the colors that appeal to you etc. Because they are grown to the highest possible standards and freshly stocked by people who know what they are talking about, they can advise you and give you "on the spot" guidance and you can get off to the best possible start.
Absolutely, its important to keep the root system supplied with adequate moisture. David recommends occasional watering just to keep the root system on the dry side but also from drying out. Obviously, since the plant is not actively growing and with the lower temperatures there is less need to water as much as you would do during the main growing season. David adds, that he waters his plants whenever he sees the top of the compost look and feel dry to the touch. Hope this helps. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Yes, but you would need to bring it indoors to a garage, basement or somewhere that is cool but frost free. They will be dormant during the winter and then start back into growth again in spring. Raymond talks about this (around about the 4 minute mark in this video. This is important because Clematis have fleshy roots that will freeze if they are left outside in a pot. They are hardy outdoors in garden soil but in a pot that is surrounded by cold air they will freeze.
I am afraid so, these selected forms seldom produce viable seed and even if they did, they take a long time to get to any size and they do not come through from seed. You could try growing some of the species types from seed but they tend to less attractive.
Your local USDA Extension office www.nal.usda.gov/topics/plant-diseases-and-disorders-plant-pests-and-weeds would probably be a good place to start researching. Alternatively, some of the universities have good self diagnosis websites like this one from the University of Maryland: extension.umd.edu/programs/environment-natural-resources/program-areas/home-and-garden-information-center that can help.
It seems silly that the underpot container that they sell does not have holes for the excess water to drain away. The pot has holes but its illogical that the underpot does not also have holes.
Since good drainage is very important for Clematis we wanted to emphasize this (which is why we stress this point). Also, most containers have drainage holes, but sometimes manufactures make them for both exterior and interior uses (where they can't have water on the floors) so, it is good just to double check. In my garden and deck, I will often drill extra holes in the base of pots to improve the drainage characteristics for any types that enjoy better drainage.
Because it is made for double purposes interior and exterior, if you want to use it for exterior just drill it, but if it has the circle at the bottom it is usually easy to poke with something sharp and a little weight or hammer down a screw driver on the circleand it will easily push it down. I just put mine upside down took my big scissor grass cutter and push it down on the circle with my weight and it poke down and made a hole right away.
At last, information without the waffle or annoying music. Thank you gentlemen.

I have 12 clematis, of different varieties, all Boulevard types, which are good for patio growing, in large pots, on the 6x6 posts of a very large covered patio! I forget now how I learned about planting these beauties, but I did it just this way, and they all are very happy, blooming fools, climbing up 8' of trellises nailed directly to the posts, with 1" dividers between trellises and posts! I can tell you that these plants are absolutely the queens of the garden, and they perform spectacularly every year! I would recommend these vines to anyone who loves climbers, loads of reliable color, some even smell great, with pretty easy care each year!
Well done, and thanks for letting us all know. They are truly SPECTACTULAR and it is great to hear you are enjoying them so much!

Thank you
This was very enjoyable to watch & presents an option I hadn't considered, that of growing a new Clematis vine in a pot. It would be a perfect solution to cover a section of an old screened in area around my back door. I can attach black chicken wire, suggested in another of your videos. Then I'd have a way to attach an attractive wooden trellis to the chicken wire, for the vine to climb.
I could keep it in a pot, & pruned to 4' to 5' in its 1st year, at least, which would promote new vines to thicken the plant, thus hiding my trash barrel, recycling bin, etc, & would somewhat block the view of my brick patio beyond, from my new neighbor's view.
I have many good sized pots designed to resemble large clay & stone pots, so could sink another pot into a second pot to help shade the foot of the Clematis, & to also provide some insulation from summer sun, rather than planting it directly into the ground., though planting it in the ground would help it survive my Zone 5B/ USA winters.
It would only get direct sun in the morning, & would be in good light the rest of the day, with some sun coming from the West, later in the day, but somewhat shaded by the enclosing structure around the back door.
Thanks - you've got me thinking!
Wonderful, we are glad to hear that our efforts proved helpful. Don't forget to keep us posted of your progress, we all learn by sharing our experiences. Good luck with your endeavors.
Very good interesting video. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. Just remember, good drainage is very important, and then if you are on the east cost of N. America it will need to be brought indoors during the coldest part of the winter.

Your video was excellent, and your explanation of how and when to water during the summer was very helpful, but can you please tell me how I should water my clematis during the winter months when it's in my garage. Thanks
That's easy.... Just enough to keep them on the dry side of moist - in other words, water sparingly to prevent them drying out, but not so that they ever feel or look soaking wet. The compost will look dry on the surface but when you scratch beneath the upper layer it is moist underneath, not wet but moist
Beautiful clematite❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are very welcome. We are posting new stuff all the time, so hopefully there will be more helpful information for you.
Great Tip! to just leave the old trellis and attach it to the new one, I spent more than 1hour untangling my clematis and broke one vine.
Glad it helped!
I'm determined to make my new Clamatis thrive! My last one died and I see now it's because it was in a plastic container and hot too hot in the summer.
Great. Cool (shaded) roots, plenty of available moisture in a WELL-DRAINED soil, a decent amount of sun, a good growing variety, and of course starting off with a healthy, well grown plant are the ingredients that will ensure success.
If you are planting them out on the ground, you can shade the roots with a deep 2 inch layer of mulch, a big rock set on top of the planting position or growing some silvery leaved perennials that spread out over the immediate area to reflect the sun and keep the soil level several degrees cooler. Dianthus (Garden Pinks), Stachys (Lambs Ears) are examples that you might consider. In nature their fleshy roots delve deep into the soil at the shady base of trees, shrubs and other greenery, and their stems then twine up and out into sunlight to flower. So in our gardens we are really just replicating that, which is where the old saying comes from "heads in the sun roots in the shade"! Here's a link to another of our videos that explains more: ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html

Thanks for this informative vidéo. Vert helpful. I just bought a "First Lady" today from the garden centre. It says it belongs to group B and needs only minor cutting. I was wondering if I still need a heavy cutting in the first year to promote new growth for next year. Will the heavy cutting impact blooming next year? Thanks, I am in Canada.
Thank you for your kind remarks.
Our approach with recently planted Clematis, is to build up a strong, vigorous, well-established roots system in the new position which is why we put more emphasis on selecting the correct planting site, the planting technique (size of hole, amendments etc.) rather than pruning etc. I think a lot of the pruning stuff you historically read about relates more to smaller mail order plants that spent time in transit rather than the larger, pot grown specimens that you can pick up at garden centers. That said, there is no harm in encouraging your plants to branch out on a structure with plenty of nice vigorous shoots, so a light trim after planting will reduce the stress on the new root system and encourage a bushy base that will lead eventually to strong, healthy top growth and ultimately lots of flowers. But I return again, to emphasize the critical importance to the part you don't see (the root system, under the ground). If your plant was well-grown, in a good sized pot, with a well stablished root system and had a compost with slow release fertilizer, and you were able to get it planted soon after purchasing without too much disturbance or trauma, and you were able to water it regularly and follow (in general terms) our directions in this video: ruclips.net/video/u51ftUVOfuU/видео.html , then you should find your plant will make a quick and easy transition to the new site, and grow away vigorously with or without a trim.
A plastic pot works fine.. I have mine In black, plastic pots for years and they are loving their life…
Good to hear and thank you for sharing that. Mr. Evison was recommending the other types because of their insulation values (keeps the roots cooler in summer and warmer in winter).
As you (no doubt) have noticed we grow all our plants are in pots (because they are durable, transport well, and transplant better over a long period), plastic does not offer much insulation value so in our colder areas it is important to protect or bring them indoors to abasement or garage in winter
Love your video. I have just one question, can I mix partial potting soil with compost to fill the pot or is it best to use only compost? Thanks very much
Leslie,
Mixing in good quality, free raining soil with organic based compost would be good. It will help fortify the micro nutrients content and also help with re-wetting if the container ever get dry. Just ensure that it is free draining (perhaps even add in some extra drainage material in the base of the pot). As for proportion of soil to compost - remember the old "John Innes' mix (7 parts loam - 3 parts peat (compost) - 2 parts coarse sand) - anything along these lines and you can't go too far wrong.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thanks very much!
Just planted a couple of these in my yard. Hope I know what I'm doing!

Is this toxic to cats if they munch on it, if it crawls up the sides of my "catio?" Also, will it damage the fencing or panels it crawls up on? Thank you, very nice informative video.
I've never heard of any ill effects from the foliage. They will climb up any structure that has something for the little leaf stems (petioles) to twine around. They attach the themselves by twining rather than sticking like Ivy or climbing Hydrangea, so you do not need to worry about damage to the structure.
Can you add trailing plants in to the pot with the clematis? Would that impact growth? We have a 31inch length trough with 2 toki clematis within. Would value your advice, thanks
Absolutely, many folk use annuals or trailing perennials. There is a little extra root competition and you might have to water more frequently and perhaps supplement the nutrient - but the results can be stunning. If you watch some of the other videos on this channel you will hear us talking about some options for this. Also, check out the one on growing Clematis in a window box. In this video we use some of the Evison Compact Boulevard varieties to trail and cascade over the edges of a window box.
Very good information, I do have one question do I need to water it during winter if I bring it in the garage?
Yes, that's important. just enough to keep it moist but not soaking wet. Just like outside the compost MUST remain moist. With the lower temperatures you won't have to water them that much - just enough to stop them from dying out.
Thank you so much for answering my question.
I bought clematis from a big box store. Had a small wooden trellis in the container. The vines were already close to 3 foot long but what they did was wrap the vines from one side of the trelis to the other side and went back and forth and uses zip ties to hold the vines to the trellis. Came with no directions. What I did was put a larger trellis behind it. Cut the zip ties off and kinda trained the vines around the new trellis as far up as the vines length. Would that be ok?
That's about the best you can do. In time, you can probably cut away the wooden trellis or take it out as it decays. Did you manage to catch some of our other videos on Clematis? If not, you might find this one helpful: ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html

Would that help xxx I would love your expertise advice and I'd be so grateful thank you guys if you answer 😍 you to make me smile when you said you have a vertical garden go on guys you're brilliant
Here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, we recommend growing Clematis in the ground.
In our cold winters the roots freeze in pots, so that's why the pots have to be over-wintered indoors in basements, garages or cool unheated rooms.
They are perfectly hardy when grown in the ground, so if you have a spot some where that would be preferable.
Then can we suggest that you take a little while to scroll through our many videos (here on this channel) on Clematis, because there you will find lots of information and ideas on how to plant, train and look after them.

Good video.What's the best type of soil for clematis plants and do they need feeding throughout the months?
I didn't realise they need frost protection. I've just left mine out year after year. They SEEM to be okay, except 2 have now developed powdery mildew. I assume because i left them out in frost:(
Any average soil will be fine - just so long as its free draining.You can give them a little gentle feeding (at half strength) in the earlier part of the year, just be careful not to over fertilize and I would suggest you stop in mid summer to harden up the growth for winter. Clematis in the ground do not need protection, most of them are very hardy (Zone 4)... its only when you grow them in containers here on the North-eastern and Mid-Atlantic states that the fleshy roots need protection from freezing solid in the pots. Powdery mildew occurs in humid "clamy" weather and is usually worst when the plants don't have free air moving around them - so you might look to see if you can create more air movement by pruning (or moving) any other plants that might be close.
Overdevest Nurseries I'm in sweden lol Thanks for the advice. It was very useful. We do get humid here in the summers
Have a purple Jack.
Came back after harsh winter.
Growing well on flower can you tell me what to do
Here's a link to one of our videos that will give you general information on the culture and how to train it etc. ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html
The difference between the one featured and your one, is that it flowers earlier and then gives another round of flowering in late summer /Fall. Whereas yours flowers from mid summer to Fall. So early next spring (before grow begins) if you desire, you could prune it back to 12-18" from the ground - this is stimulate new growth and stronger flowering.
I'm in love with this plant. We have very hot summers reaching upto 45 Celsius. Would it survive indoors with air conditioning?
You could try it, it will need plenty of light as well.
Why my new planted clematis armada has fainted tips. It’s started well initially and had 12 cm new growth but when I’ve moved the plant from shaded area to a more open one in the next couple of days I’ve noticed fainted tips. Is it the wind ? Or have I overwater it ? Many thanks Dorota
Hard to say, it could be any of these things and others too. Best thing would be to check with your source of purchase or have someone (an experienced local master gardener, garden coach etc.) take a look at it. An experienced knowledgeable eye will soon help you diagnose the issue and help you work out a plan of action.
Hi, I have two clematis in pots, very young plants I got last summer in uk, but don’t know the names of them, how will I know how to look after them? Thank you 😊
Not sure how we can help you, except suggesting you scroll through our many videos on the Clematis varieties we grow, and see if you can spot similarities when your young plants grow out and flower. Over the years we have posted lots of videos featuring the best selections for our region, and followed this up with advice and guidance from the world's top authorities like Raymond Evison, so hopefully you will find plenty of useful and helpful information.
If it's planted in the ground to grow up a arbor or arch will it come back the following yr
Yes, just follow the details we outline in this video: ruclips.net/video/Z69fP7r0-7o/видео.html and you will have it come back - year after year for MANY years. When you watch the video you will hear me talk about the plant featured being 17-18 years old and I expect it to keep going strong for many years into the future!

I have never seen such a beautiful Clematis !!!! Are these available, in India , I wonder?
Thank you. Probably the best thing to do is check with your local garden centers, they will know. 👍
Are any types of clematis better suited to partial shade conditions?
Absolutely! And thanks for a great question!
We tend to get a little carried away with the old saying "heads in the sun / roots in the shade" but actually quite a few of the varieties are BETTER with a little shade! Bold whites are outstanding (example Ninon: ruclips.net/video/9TTPauCYt7M/видео.html) and the delicate, subtle, nuances of bi-colors are much better, here's a link to this The Countess of Wessex video that will explain: ruclips.net/video/kGq9Jzprdnw/видео.html. The same goes for rich reds, mauves and purples too, their colors are greatly enriched in light or partial shade where they are not bleached by the hot sun. Generally, those with delicate shading flower with richer hues and are much better in shadier spots. In fact, as you will see in this video also filmed with Raymond Evison: ruclips.net/video/Asf8lnulbrE/видео.html we actually shade our plants to get the best from them. So, as long as they get dappled sunlight or sunlight for about 3 -4 hours or so, most of the varieties we stock at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ will be fine (and often, even more glorious) in partial shade. We suggest you take a little time and check out the videos that we feature elsewhere on this channel, to research and pick out your favorites.
While in the garage do you water?
Yes, they will need a little water to keep the compost from completely drying out. Its hard to explain (just how much and how often) because the conditions are likely to vary so much from place to place. Suffice to say, that you should give them just enough to keep the compost reasonably moist but not saturated or dried out.
As David mentioned above, it is important to keep them from drying out. They will be in a dormant state but they are still living and need moisture, so make sure to give them enough water to keep the compost moist but not soaking (saturated) wet.
We hope this helps explain.

Show do you get a clematis to flower low down on the plane
Anne Houghton The nice thing about many of the newer varieties (and especially many of the ones that have been developed by Raymond Evison in recent years) is that they are naturally bushy and compact and flower from the ground upwards. As you will see in several of our videos they are covered with flowers from top to bottom and if you watch in, you will hear Raymond talk about the "pony tail" cut where he prunes them back to about 10-12 inches in spring, thereby encouraging the plants to make fresh bushy growth which later on will carry the flowers. So if your plant gets a big "leggy" and you haven't pruned it, this might get it to flower lower down. That said, there are some types and some older vars. that tend to make a lot of growth first and flower higher up and if you have some of these, there is little you can do except try training some shoots horizontally or training them around a structure at lower levels, so that when they do set flowers, they will be at a level you desire
Could I grow 2 clemitas together in a pot? Or is it better one plant per pot... Thank you
Absolutely, it might be a good idea to consult with the experts at your local garden center and see if they can recommend two that will grow at about the same rate and like we mention in the video make sure to start with a good generous sized container too. Here's a link that will help you find all the garden centers that stock our plants: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/
I dont have a clay or ceramic pot...can I use a fabric grow bag???
They will grow in any kind of container that has a nutritious, free draining compost. I would suggest the appearance of the container matters, so maybe you can construct an outer shell or "dress up" or disguise the grow bag in some way to make it look pleasing.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thank You !!!! ..Ive got some large gro bags.. so I'll plant her into one...and set it inside of a large painted plastic pot !! Thanks for your help !!
where can i buy clematis i live in the Phils
They are available at leading garden centers throughout the northeastern United States. The nice thing about that, is that you can get lovely big plants that are usually in flower, so that you can see exactly what they look like, choose the colors that appeal to you etc. Because they are grown to the highest possible standards and freshly stocked by people who know what they are talking about, they can advise you and give you "on the spot" guidance and you can get off to the best possible start.
Should plant be watered while dormant?
Absolutely, its important to keep the root system supplied with adequate moisture.
David recommends occasional watering just to keep the root system on the dry side but also from drying out. Obviously, since the plant is not actively growing and with the lower temperatures there is less need to water as much as you would do during the main growing season. David adds, that he waters his plants whenever he sees the top of the compost look and feel dry to the touch. Hope this helps.

can you overwinter in a pot?
Yes, but you would need to bring it indoors to a garage, basement or somewhere that is cool but frost free. They will be dormant during the winter and then start back into growth again in spring. Raymond talks about this (around about the 4 minute mark in this video. This is important because Clematis have fleshy roots that will freeze if they are left outside in a pot. They are hardy outdoors in garden soil but in a pot that is surrounded by cold air they will freeze.
Is it difficult to grow Clematis from seed?
I am afraid so, these selected forms seldom produce viable seed and even if they did, they take a long time to get to any size and they do not come through from seed. You could try growing some of the species types from seed but they tend to less attractive.
what about rubber pots please ?
Sorry, we haven't come across "rubber" pots yet.
Why my leaves turned black the plant is died
Your local USDA Extension office www.nal.usda.gov/topics/plant-diseases-and-disorders-plant-pests-and-weeds would probably be a good place to start researching. Alternatively, some of the universities have good self diagnosis websites like this one from the University of Maryland: extension.umd.edu/programs/environment-natural-resources/program-areas/home-and-garden-information-center that can help.
It seems silly that the underpot container that they sell does not have holes for the excess water to drain away. The pot has holes but its illogical that the underpot does not also have holes.
Since good drainage is very important for Clematis we wanted to emphasize this (which is why we stress this point). Also, most containers have drainage holes, but sometimes manufactures make them for both exterior and interior uses (where they can't have water on the floors) so, it is good just to double check. In my garden and deck, I will often drill extra holes in the base of pots to improve the drainage characteristics for any types that enjoy better drainage.
Because it is made for double purposes interior and exterior, if you want to use it for exterior just drill it, but if it has the circle at the bottom it is usually easy to poke with something sharp and a little weight or hammer down a screw driver on the circleand it will easily push it down. I just put mine upside down took my big scissor grass cutter and push it down on the circle with my weight and it poke down and made a hole right away.
It scares me to cut back so much.
That's understandable but be brave, it will pay dividends in the end.
I must remember to trim my clematis down in autumn. I have a maroon one in my garden. Thanks for sharing this video.
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching.
