I just had 3 trellis's built for my clematis. They are about 8 feet tall and 36 inches wide. I am using them as a privacy screen for my screen porch. This is located in a sunny area. How many plants do I need to plant for each trellis? How many shoots should come out of the plant to climb up the trellis? I would like fuller coverage, since it is for privacy. I'm not sure if that will come in years, or if I need to plant more than one plant now.
Do I need to soak the roots. Any special planting trips or tricks. Help!!!!!!!!!!
From the information I have gathered online, they like to have sun, but need to have there roots covered. So I plan on planting annuals this year. Hopefully I can get a nice groundcover perennial to plant in the fall.
I understand that I will cut the clematis back each year.
Any info welcome. debi
