Post #6651542

I keep reading about how large the root systems can get on clems. Having no experience growing them, I was wondering :

Can clematis' root systems ever pose any damage to nearby pipes or home foundation? I ask becuase I have very little room to grow plants outside. The bed I have to work with is very close to the front of my home and sits atop many pipes.

Thanks,

~ Natasha
