Ahhhh... good question.
I have no idea.
I only put it in late last summer, and it's my first clematis.
Does anyone know about clematis on this board???
Anyone?

About August last year. It's only a foot high at the moment - and by and large looks dormant except for a couple of buds. |

Not too worried But I should have got a sequoia instead. In six months the clematis has given me 2 little green blobs about 6mm across. A sequoia would be 4 foot taller in that time ;D How do you tell a clematis to pull it's finger out? |

I wouldn't worry about it - clems are prettier than Sequoias and won't take over your garden - unless you are me of course ;D It's been establishing itself and has had to cope with winter - give the poor thing a chance!!!
I don't know Sleepy - how do you tell a clematis to pull it's finger out?

I don't think Keith was referring specifically to clems. In one episode of TGL the adorable and irresistably huggable Barbara (Flis) talked to her seedlings to encourage them to grow.

Ah! But she didn't actually tell them to pull their fingers out? I thought you were starting a joke Sleepy!!!

Apparently Prince Charles does it, and no-one has sectioned him yet! ;D He also claims they enjoy music.
