No luck with growing Clematis last year? Did your attempt at covering up the neighbors ugly fence result in something that looked more like a washed up, dried out lump of sea weed then an actual plant? The depth of the planting hole might have had something to do with it. The root ball of a Clematis vine (unlike other vines) should be planted 2.5 inches or 6 cm below the surface of the soil. Try it this spring, the reward will be worth it!
