What would be some of the reasons for a clematis not to bloom? This is the same one I posted about a few days ago (I only have one), here's a link to that post: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1004079/ So I've been trying to keep from getting discouraged about this plant. I just got home from a walk around my neighborhood on this beautiful summer evening and saw many clematis in full, lovely bloom. I have no trace of any buds on mine and just can't figure what's going wrong. As I mentioned in the previous post, this is summer #4 and while the thing has climbed and is spilling over the top of the trellis, it is not terribly full and has never had a single bloom. It is planted on a west-facing wall and gets about 6 hours of direct sun a day (maybe not enough?) The soil has been amended over the past 4 years with composted manure and various kinds of mulch. Other things around it seem to grow fine (i.e. shasta daisies, some kind of ornamental grass, coneflower, primrose, and hollyhocks that I just planted this year). Oh, and HD had it labeled as 'Jackmanii' but who knows if that's actually the case. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Jen
