Hi
Dig a hole at least twice the size of the pot in which the plant is growing and half as deep again.
A good wide deep hole of at least 45 x 45cm is essential to accommodate not only the entire root ball comfortable, Incorporate some organic matter.
Clematis will grow best on alkaline soil. Get the soil in good condition by adding well-rotted farmyard manure or compost.
Clematis is divided into 3 groups
Group 1, group 2 and group 3. If you know the name of the clematis, you will be able to find out which group it belongs to. this is important for pruning purposes.
