hi new to the forum,question i have just brought a clematis armandii and when i was planting it i knocked the top off the plant it still has 2 side shoots with leaves on it but will it be ok or have i killed it ???
Hi and a warm welcome to GC. I have a few clematis and they were almost striped to the shoots this winter, they are now coming on quite nicely. so I would say no you havent killed it. MEF750
Hi it will be fine, it'll just shoot of in different directions. I got one summer 2005 it's now covering 4 6ft fence panels, should cover more but i've acid to nuetral soil and they really like alkaline. The flowers smell lovely! and theres lots of them.
I choose it because I'm a tropical gardener and it has nice big leaves and is evergreen, so fits in my jungle.
ive had a look at my clematis today and its sprouted 2 new shoots about a foot long brillant well pleased :D
