HOW TO GROW CLEMATIS 
Clematis will thrive in almost any climate 
but for best results they should be planted in 
a somewhat sunny location and in as near a 
non-acid soil as possible. If your soil is acid 
this condition may be remedied by mixing 
lime with the soil at planting time, or by 
thoroughly working lime into the soil around 
those plants already in place. Clematis 
should be set so that the dirt comes up about 
2 inches on the stem above the roots. If 
planted with the crown just level with the soil 
they will soon wither and die from drying 
out. Dig the hole large enough so that the 
roots may be spread out naturally in planting. 
If the soil is poor the hole should be filled 
with good rich garden soil. Clematis planted 
in this manner and kept well watered (not 
drowned) will rarely fail to grow and do well.
