Oh good!! I just bought this one this spring. Maybe next year I'll see some bloom from it. Great picture.

I cut it back to about 6 inches. (before I had dg education) It was one of the first things to start to grow in teh spring. Its been doing well ever since. And I haven;t fed it either. ! Maybe I should give it a kicker of my 10-60-10 to see what it does.

A lady in our town who raises lots of clematis told me to give each on a good shot of root stimulator in the spring. She said it will make a stronger plant with bigger bloom. I tried it on one of mine this year and I do believe she is right. It has more bloom and the vines have gone crazy. It is a Jackmanni and I always cut it back each year, so I know just how much more it has grown this time and I'd say by 25 percent.

Pebble, right now I'm using Ferti-Lome. I don't even remember where I got it, but it was less that $4 and is a pint container. Uses 3-1/2 Tb. per gallon. I think they all work about the same. Have another kind out in the garage. I think it is called Up-Start and is in the green and yellow bottle. Is that Ortho? I'm really bad at names and even worse at buying whatever is handy. I'm a Wally World shopper so chances are good that I got this stuff there.

Brugie...thanks for the info! Much appreciated

You are welcome. Wish I could get a picture of Gayla's yard. I think she said she had 27 clematis.

27 clematis is a dream come true...you don't have a digital camera, brugie?

Rebecca, I have one, but I rarely go to her part of town. Besides, how would I get them all in the same picture? Ooooo, that would really be something. I could maybe get the ones in the front of the house that are on old wagon wheels, so will have to think about this one.
