Today I moved my clematis from the shop area to the new deck bed. One of the three snapped right at the base of the stem and I threw it away. The other two seemed to survive the transplant SO FAR. I want to be positive, but I don't have high hopes for these guys. They're already sickly and now I've shocked them. ALSO, the topsoil mix I'm using is pretty hot still and although I wetted the soil down to cool it, it might have been a little warm on the root balls. We'll see...if they don't make it, I'll get some more. Maybe a deciduous kind, with brightly colored blooms, instead of white.
