OK, DG Peeps: I need your advice. I recently purchased a Ramona Clematis and dropped it in the ground yesterday. Other than watering regularly and nipping at dead leaves, I need advice on how to truly care for this plant. The card that came with it stated it was a Pruning Type 2. I tried reading some online guides, but I just couldn't seem to find anything that was speaking English to me. I really just need to know how to care for it so that not only does it look fresh throughout the year, but will continue to come back year-after-year still looking fresh. Also, I was wondering if I could expect my Clematis to bloom this year? I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on the subject.

DG Love,
Tina :-)
