Clematis in ABQ?

Posted by abq_bob 7 / SS10 (My Page) on

Just was wondering if anyone in Albuquerque has had success in growing clematis here? I, being the hopeless plant addict that I am, bought some the other day without any idea where I was going to put them, nor how to really care for them.

I figured since my lilac does so well here, clematis should work too (?). But when it comes to vines, I'm more at home growing jasmine, honeysuckle, fuzzy kiwi, and passifloras...

Where I'm hoping to locate them is on the posts of my West facing patio, which is semi-shaded by a large elm tree. Think that'll work? I could run a soaker hose right over their feet, but they should also get some overspray from my lawn sprinklers.

If it helps, I got: Niobe, Nelly Moser, and Snow Queen. Thanks in advance!

RE: Clematis in ABQ?

My friend across the street has several clematis that do wonderfully well. He has partial shade. Mine is in full sun and does pretty well as long as I soak it every other day. His do even better, so yours might do fine in the setting you have for it.
