Post #5186793

I have four clematis on an arbor. I treated them all the same when I planted them,but they are all growing at different rates.
the Polish Spirit is robust,Viola and Ville de lyon are blooming but stringy growth,and the Mrs Cholmondely is struggeling.
These all came from Chalk Hill and were planted Fall of 2005. Why are they behaving so differently? Am I expecting too much?
I moved an Integrefolis out of the bed last week and put it in a pot to babysit because it was not doing well. It was much more vigorous last summer.
If I decide to move these also could I do it this summer?
They are all group 3. Could I cut them down and move them this summer. I am zone 5 in Pa. The soil has quite a bit of clay but I have amended it with compost and they are mulched well.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Aline
