Talkback: Clematis 'Arabella'
in Talkback
I've tried five Clematis in my garden over the years and every one survived for only one year before keeling over with Clematis wilt. I'm not sure if it's the local soil but they're not successful for me, I even tried burying a large pot in the ground with a special mix in it but again it died in the second summer - so I've given up with Clematis, any advice would be happily received.

if you rush home and put them straight in the ground, like i did the first year round, the slugs and snails will be in seventh (slug) heaven! These plants are inexpensive for a reason...they are rally young! The best way to profit from Morrisons 'generosity' is to re-pot them in a larger, long pot and grow them on for a year in a greenhouse or porch! Next year you will have wonderful strong plants to plant out (preferably before the S&S's are out and about)If you just can't wait for them to decorate your garden or you haven't anywhere safe for them, plant them in a large pot and put outside, preferably on a paved area
