16 Garden Guide 2018 GROWING CLEMATIS IN CENTRAL ALBERTA

Clematis can be rewarding to grow and a beautiful addition to your garden. They are some of the very few blooming perennial vines that grow in our climate. Here are a few tips: PLANTING CLEMATIS In colder climates where temperatures drop below 0°F (-20°C) foundation planting and mulch are required to ensure a long life. Tricks to having success is heat on the top and shade on the roots. These conditions are necessary for the clematis to grow and thrive. Watch when you plant clematis that you are careful with the stems for they break easily and require extra care when transplanting. They prefer east or west exposures.

PRUNING CLEMATIS Group (C) is the only type of pruning group we recommend in our climate. These varieties bloom only on the current year’s growth. Blooms commence in early summer and continue through to fall. Plants should be cut back in late April to two strong sets of buds on each stem as close to ground level as possible. This will provide a plant with blooms that start near ground level and continue to the top of the plant.

18 Garden Guide 2018 GROWOYA An ancient form of localized plant irrigation, ollas (we call them Oyas like they’re pronounced) are terracotta pots that you plant in your garden to save water, save time and make your growing easier. Terracotta is a porous material–and even more so when fired at a low temperature–allowing the water inside to seep out slowly through the walls to water your plants at the roots.

This makes Oyas a low tech, high efficiency, self watering system. Save a whole bunch of water (up to 70% water savings from surface watering), save your valuable time (water only once a week!) and grow easy (less weeds, less guesswork, better plants).
