A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
What's the best way to plant a clematis?
First, give them a site where their roots can be shaded and cool and their tops in full sun. Planting them with a ground cover or surrounded by mulch can accomplish this. They will also appreciate a loose soil giving their roots plenty of room to grow. Once they're in the ground, don't disturb them. They hate that. Keep the soil moist always during the first year.
