I giggled when he said, “Gosh, David, I’ve never used a shovel with such a long handle such as this.” He carried on without skipping a beat though. 😆 Anyway, great video. I’m wanting to separate my two clematis that I planted too closely together and plant some elsewhere. I’m afraid I’ll destroy the plants though. Any advice welcome and I’ll keep searching RUclips. Love the trellis he’s using here btw!
I'm having the same problem. I have yet to plant the two I purchased so they have twined around each other while still in their pots. They may or may not be in the same pruning group. They both have large flowers... one purple and one pink. I really can't find anyone to tell me if I can plant them wrapped around each other or if I need to untangle them? This is my first attempt at clematis. I'm planning to plant them at the base of a small dogwood tree so they hopefully will grow around or up it and then I can pull it through the branches. I'm hoping the tendrils can catch on to the bark but I'm not sure about that either. Sooo, if anyone reading could advise me, it would be greatly appreciated😊. I'm in the zone 6A and it's very late to be planting these in the first place so I need to find out as soon as possible and I'm having no luck. Thank you so much!
@@ltandkholbrook9555 I planted one in more half shade and it was wonderful. I didn't think it was going to get enough sun. Bloomed everywhere. It was the Princess Diana variety. It was so easy. I have tried another one at this place and it just wasn't happy. I'm wondering if this variety was just easy. I planted another that gets sun after 11am or 12pm. It grew, but just had 2 or 3 blooms. I forget which kind it was.
I received a pass along clematis. It was bought from a big box store. It has been cut several times through the growing season and always reblooms beautifully. How do I find out what type in order to know when to prune them?
Hello from eastern Kentucky. I have several varieties of clematis (most 5yrs. + old) However I recently ordered several seeds unfortunate when I received them, they aren't marked on the packages. I have some that are about 2 inches tall they look like clematis pictures I've found online but not like the clematis I have growing. Please help.
What I just learned from a “renowned expert”: have someone else pick a spot, have them dig the hole, then put the plant in while talking a lot saying very little. I think I can manage that.
Yes, you can just snip them off after the flowers begin to fade. Also with the large flowered hybrids (which are the most common ones in garden centers) if you trim off the old flowers and and lanky wayward growth in mid summer you will encourage a new round of growth and a renewed burst of flowers in late summer / autumn. Just be aware that some sorts have pretty (fluffy) seed heads, so sometimes people do not trim them because they want to enjoy the seed heads. Its a personal choice, but I prefer more flowers so I trim off the old flowers.
Lamb's Ear worst plant, the seeds just sprout every where even in the lawn. You will spend the next growing season weeding it out of all your beds up to 30 ft away from the original plant.
If this is an issue for you, there's two things you can do..... First trim off the flower stems before they get a chance to set seed, and secondly, you could plant a form that rarely flowers! It is called Stachys "Big Ears or 'Helene von Stein. It was selected in Germany and seldom flowers so you can enjoy the mounds of soft, velvety, silvery leaves without the concern of seeding. Your annoyance with is a good example of what we are trying to do to help home owners know more about the BEST plants. I don't want to bore you too much, but seed raised plants (like the type you have) may be cheaper to buy and seem like a bargain but they often work out to be the MOST EXPENSIVE in the long run! That's why I recommend shopping at Garden Splendor centers, because they stock only the BEST types and there's usually knowledgeable, local experts on hand to guide you with intricacies like this. I hope this helps.
Yes, believe it or not, it was the only shovel that was available on the whole nursery that morning! Raymond was a "good sport" and worked with it anyway, and as you can probably tell we didn't take things too seriously and had a lot of fun working together and shooting this video. I hope it shows that friends working together in a garden can be so very enjoyable and rewarding, not matter what tools you use.

One of my all time favorite plants 🌱.
Mine too!
Good advice on soaking in the water. I’ll keep that mind.
No entendí nada de lo que dijeron, pero me encantó lo que ví, amo los clematis 💜
Thank you for all the tips. I've tried clematis many times and failed for whatever reason. I will retry with these tips.
@Jojo L How did you get on ? :)

What type of medium would you suggest for clematis seeds ?
What I just learned from a “renowned expert”: have someone else pick a spot, have them dig the hole, then put the plant in while talking a lot saying very little. I think I can manage that.
Do you deadhead clematis? If so, how?

i enjoyed using your shovel
HUHHAAAHAHAH CACKLE GOOD show
Can we put in to container?
I had a huge one that grew in a large barrel.
Hahaha! May I borrow the shovel next? It may be taller than me. :)
I am afraid you'll have to get your own shovel... Raymond & I are still working with this one!
I'm buy clematis hybrid plz. India.
What is the exact clematis he is planting?
Ellen M. At 4.22 ish he says "Clematis Kingfisher," so Im guessing thats the name

He didn't like that shovel
