Im a novice gardener.
My container grown clematis is just finishing its second lot of flowers
and I would like to know what to do next please?
Some of the stems have gone woody and look to be dead but when I broke
one yesterday they are still quite green inside despite some withered
leaves.
Its been lovely this year and I would like to look after it well so any
help would be greatly appreciated please.
Its been in the same 2 foot deep ceramic jardinere now for the last
couple of years if thats any use to you.
Thanks again to all of you in anticipation.

Can you put a photo of it onto tinypic or something like that? If you
don't know the name, that is! If you do know the name, I'm sure
someone here will help you.

I'd give as much info as you can then wait for Mr. Pridham. Size of
flower, colours, obviously name, if poss. He'll know!

Thankyou for your replies. Im sorry not to get back to you before now but we were on our holidays.
The clematis is a Nellie Moser.
Id appreciate any advice on it please as to what to do with it now.
I suspect the compost is getting a little tired in the container by now.
The flowers this year were smaller than the last few years but it was still a lovely show.
