Vines
Perennial Vines are usually woody climbing or trailing plants. They will return year-to-year, growing and spreading across whatever medium they are given.
Growing Colors™ offers a 1-year 2.25" Clematis: These are 1-year old clematis, shipped in 2.25" pots and packed 32/tray. Plants are well-rooted and should be transplanted into gallon pots. This size is heavier than the 50-cell clematis and will have 2-4 eyes per plant. They will finish a gallon quicker and produce fuller looking pots. Plants will be shipped dormant.
Akebia - Five Leaf Akebia
A more manageable vine that grows only to the size of its support structure. Very twining habit. Good for growing on a fence or wall.

Clematis -
CLEMATIS - 1 year 2.5"pots: These are 1 year old clematis, shipped in 2.5" pots and packed 32/tray. Plants are well-rooted and should be transplanted into gallon pots. This size is heavier than the 50-cell clematis and will have 2-4 eyes per plant. They will finish a gallon quicker and produce fuller looking pots. Plants are shipped dormant.
Plant: Clematis prefer a neutral soil, pH 5.7 - 6.4. Center in pot and plant crown 1-2" below the soil surface. Spread spiralling roots evenly throughout soil.
Trellis: Position trellis at time of planting to prevent root and stem damage later.
Pinch: Pinch sprouted clematis back to 2 sets of leaf pairs per stem. This will promote better branching and produce fuller containers. Inspect crop regularily and keep growing shoots trained to the trellis to prevent tangling and damage.
Grow: Grow in full sun at 55 - 60F minimum night temperatures. After growth appears, fertilize with 200 ppm Nitrogen every 7 - 10 days.
Water: Keep evenly moist. To prevent diseases, water early in the day and keep foliage dry.
Site Selection & Planting info: For best flowering, select a site that is well-drained with a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight per day. Clematis prefer their roots to be cool. If planted in full sun, surround clematis with perennials or smaller shrubs that provide shade to the crown area. Homeowners should plant their potted clematis so the crown is 2 - 4" below soil level. Keep moist and fertilize regularily.
