Help with Clematis

10 years ago

I'm fairly new to growing clematis and would like any advice that will help get these guys blooming.
I have these minus one or two that my dog dug up.

Pink Fantasy (2010) bloomed last year
Rebecca (2012) bloomed last year
Rosemoor (2012)
Venosa Violacea (2012) bloomed last year
Dutchess of Albany (2013)
Princess Diana (2013)

These have died back in the winter, but are all starting to come up good now. I'd like to see a good show of flowers this year and be able to determine which ones my dog destroyed.

My question is what should I be doing as far as additives to soil or fertilizing. Thanks for any help.

I've attached a link to the archives of this forum on that subject. This has been discussed a lot :-)

Here is a link that might be useful: fertilizing clematis search
