Clematis.

 


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.

Depends on the type of clematis. The label that came with it should
have told
you the pruning regime. If you still know the name, I advise
googling for it and
follow the information you find.

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.
