I just bought one, and I have a really silly question. Do you need to tie it to the support, or will it climb on its own? Thanks a bunch! |

It will twine on its own. You may have to help it along a bit ~ mine sometimes sends a runner along the ground and I just stick the trailer through the support somewhere. Don't forget to shade the root area some. |

Thanks a bunch KeeWee  I had just put the little runners around the supports without tying, Glad I did that right  I was going to be putting a little wall of bricks in front of it to shade the roots. |

i just bought TWO! to grow on the same trellis - one white, one blue, but the blue ones are downward trumpet-shaped! I will check the tags and post the names of them when I get home. I'm so excited! Haven't decided what to put at their little 'feet'! |

I can' remember the name of that blue one but any pictures I see of it are gorgeous. Hope they do well for you. LB |

Is clematis a slow grower? |
