Feeding Clematis

. Cheers. Blood, Fish and Bone now, and then tomato feed when growing strongly. That would do but if they're a bit feeble I'd also give them a liquid feed now as a tonic. You can also buy specialist clematis feed. i've just been out doing some of mine by lloyd_shooter

Planting clematis - distance?

We are putting up a (free-standing) trellis approx. 1.8m high by 2m wide and want to grow clematis. I haven't grown them before so I wonder how many plants maximum could I plant up, i.e. what kind of distance between the plants? Was hoping to plant by Robin6
