- This is part of a series which shows how to have clematis in flower in the UK throughout the year. I have started with Large Flowered Hybrids and will produce more in this series each season to show the clematis in flower in my garden and give advice about how to grow and care for them. additional information can be downloaded from my web site kenblackclematis.com

Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson Ken. Must say, you are a brilliant communicator.
Thank you.
Flattery will get you anywhere John. Glad you liked it
Hi Ken
It’s great to see you back and looking well. What a lovely treat a new series of videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your comments Marion and I hope you find the videos and downloads useful
Excellent and thorough information of clematis hybrids and clematis in general! Thank You!
Glad you found them helpful
You’re back!!!! So exciting. Thanks for the video. I look forward to more videos. 10 clematis strong in my garden so far ….i definitely have a pant addiction.
Thank you for your enthusiasm
Nice to see you are well, I have missed your videos 😀
What a nice thing to say. Thank you, my health is much better now. I hope that you and yours are also well
Nice to see you back online can you videos of been invaluable thanks very much
Thank you for your comments. I must admit that I have missed doing them but am now back to full health so watch out for more
THRILLED to see you back, was worried about you when I couldn't find new vids. Very helpful video as always, have shared with some gardening friends!
I am glad that you enjoy and share the videos
Really enjoyed watching this video Ken. Lovely to see you back. x
Thank you Jennifer. I have another coming out in the next few days on later flowering clematis for the summer
Thank you so much for your generosity! I did download the information. Very valuable! Hopping for new videos this year.
I will do my best. Glad you find the information useful
Thank you , very helpful. We are watching in USA . Seattle
Glad you found them helpful. I have really made them for the UK because I don’t know about the differences in climate across the USA. You can decide what fits and what doesn’t
i would trust this guy with my lifesavings...great infomrative vid
I am glad you found this helpful but please don’t risk your life savings.
@@kenblackclematis8272 i bought a clematis last year covered the bottom stems it survived its a dr ripple and is growing well..im going to buy another..put it other side of the trellis hope it grows too
Hi Ken, welcome back. Saw your 'appreciation' panel earlier, gave 5 * of course.
So pleased to have more debunking and practical advice, clear, straightforward and precise. Many of us will look forward to more videos. (My supermarket clematis are doing well.) Thank you very much.
Thank you Wendy. There will definitely be more this year
@@kenblackclematis8272 Just bought a pretty Alpina, c. 'Constance' RHS AGM. £5 fr Morrisons. 'chuffed' !
Thanks Ken done the 4 downloads very kind of you ❤
Good
It is a real joy to see you well and back!
Ever since we bought a house with our own backyard, I've dreamed of having a few clematis. Your videos were the major source of information and inspiration, so well presented. Starting from last July with a dozen of varieties now I have 60! And despite the lack of space this is not going to be the finish, some more are ordered already :)!
I love each and every clematis I have but the ultimate favorites so far are: Utopia (such beautiful and long blooming!), Hanajima (little elegant beauty), Golden Dream (the most pleasant and unique scent of a flower; a real surprise was discovering Rooguchi has one too), Purple Dream (huge fantastic looking flowers), Purple Surprise (beautiful star shaped vibrant flowers), Princess Kate (simply, beautiful) and Taiga (probably the most unique shape and color combination). Some are planted into the soil, others - into termo-containers which I can move to desired places. Your video "Early Spring Clematis at Adswood" has inspired me to combine Purple Surprise, Cecile and Albina Plena in one elongated container, they have already grown up nicely and look perfect even without Albina blooming yet! I share my clematis photos on Facebook and Instagram and wish to encourage others to grow such beautiful plants. Forgive me for long text, but I can't withhold my excitement. I owe many thanks to you, dear Ken! Looking forward for more videos!
I was really pleased to receive your comment. Wow 60 clematis already. You will be making videos next! Your collection sounds interesting and your desire to experiment with different combinations is inspiring. The only one of your clematis that I don’t like is Tiara. It is just too unnatural looking for me. But that is one of the beauties of clematis. There are so many to choose from that there will always be ones that appeal to some but not others. My next video will be featuring late summer varieties, many of which are out now, so I better get filming. If there are any particular topics you would like me to cover in future please let me know. I look forward to seeing your clematis on Facebook
Many thanks
Ken
@@kenblackclematis8272 Thank you for kind words. I am on the very beginning of learning clematis secrets, so I don't know how much I don't know yet 😁. So far they are doing rather well, save a few exemplars. One is stopped to grow altogether after flowering (Hakuookan) and it looks like it does not have any visible alive buds on the stems left. I shortened the stems a bit and am waiting for it to wake up. Some have brown spots appearing on leaves - I'm removing these leaves and watching if situation does not get worse. And, lastly, Pink Dream seems like needing a lot more of shade, because leaves look burned for both plants I have, although other "Dreams" clematis are doing well at the same locations. Next week I hope my new order with 12 more clematises will arrive (do I need a psychologist already? 😂 ).
Very good information. Thank you
One of the most informative analysts of clematis plants👍👍❤️
I am glad you found it helpful
I am pleased that you found this useful
Thank you
I am glad that you found it useful
I have a handful of i believe himilayan clematis cuttings that have seemingly made it through repotting.. on to over wintering them. It could get below freezing here, if so I'll be putting then in a shed in plastic tubs.. hope they make it!! Haha. I love your videos, thanks!
Good luck
@@kenblackclematis8272 needed it, not sure it went too good haha
Pls pls make more videos about how to deal problems people may encounter. Like why they die a year or two after flowering so well. Also is it possible to over feed?
Will they come back after being over fed.
I’ve purchased so many over the last five years (uk) and lost about half. Or they can be slow to grow or smaller than thy should be in flowers.
I have clay soil
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your clematis. You might try to use a large pot with the bottom taken out. Fill the pot with good but gritty compost and part sink the pot into the ground. That way the clematis will be in good and rich compost but can get into roots into the clay, which holds nutrients very well. If because of the clay your garden is very wet in winter you may struggle to grow early spring clematis because they don’t like wet conditions too much. I suggest you buy some viticellas ie late flowering clematis. They are generally more resilient. What are the names of some of the clematis you have lost?
Fabulous Ken thank you for the wonderful info I would love to have clematis flowering all year long how good would that be ! I need to start saving up LoL
I am aware that clematis can be very expensive, so I suggest that you build your collection slowly and take advantage of any offers you see and opportunities to buy young plants and grow them on. good luck
@@kenblackclematis8272 Yes, thanks Ken I watched one of your other videos re. supermarket varieties and how we can use them to grow on and I have some from Morrisons and Aldi and Lidl in the greenhouse right now ! so thanks for that advice too :) I do like to buy from Taylors the quality and size is great but it's very expensive when you really want to fill your whole garden with clematis haha and I do :)
@@soulgirlktf I think you are taking the right approach. Good luck
Hello Ken, Fantastic video, well presented and lots of fantastic information. I want to buy some viticella clematis next spring to grow over an arch. Do I treat these as large flowered hybrids and plant deeper than in pot or do I plant in soil at same level as pot. Sorry I am a little confused with this one. Many thanks and please make some more videos, especially an update on your seed sowing in pots and bags and vermiculite and bag. So interesting, can't wait for the results ha ha .
Hi Cliff. I plant viticellas at the same depth as in the pot although some people plant them a couple of inches deeper. There is no evidence that viticellas benefit from deep planting.
Why don’t you download the chart I have done on growing clematis. It includes planting. It can be found on my website Kenblackclematis.com
Hi Ken, lovely to see you... welcome back! I will be following your video's as I am just starting my collection. My Duchess of Edinburgh was doing great, lots of blooms, its 3yrs old now. Planted southern exposure and has partial shade by 3pm. It suddenly is drooping its leaves and the flower heads are turned down. After a heavy rain fall yesterday, I thought it needed watering but not at all, the leaves are browning and greyish flowers... what has happened to my beautiful clematis... any ideas Ken... much appreciate!
It is difficult to diagnose without examining the plant. However, there are several web sites that give information about brown leaves, and it can either be underwatering or overwatering - not helpful. Have a close look at your plant and examine each stem. Look for signs of mechanical or pest damage. I would guess that your plant has been under stress and the effort required to produce buds may have been too much for it. You could cut the stems back to where the leaves are still green and see if they regrow and produce flowers later in the year. From memory, I think that the Duchess has a double white flower and it may regrow to produce only a single flower later. Sorry that I cant be more help.
@@kenblackclematis8272 thank you so much Ken... I believe your right about the under watering... we had a sudden heat wave here in Southern Ontario, very unusual here... I will do the cut back to the green leaves... I will keep a better eye on this Clematis in the coming springs. Appreciate your fast response. Take care Ken!
Hi again Ken. I've just bought 2 new clematis. I saw the alpina willy clematis in your garden and had ro have it. Do I Bury it deep? I also bought Daniel deronda. Would I Bury this deep also please.
Dont bury Willy deeply, but bury Daniel more deeply. Go to my website and download the chart and that will give you all the information you need
