Make sure you provide it with something to climb on from day one. A clematis vine does not climb by twining around something, as a pole bean or a morning glory does. It climbs by wrapping its leaf stems around something.Because these leaf stems are not very long, anything that's more than about 1/2 inch in diameter is too wide for the leaf stem to twist around.The easiest things for a clematis to grab onto, are twine, fishing line, wire, thin branches, wooden dowels or steel rods.hen selecting a clematis for your garden, you'll want to think about a couple things, which include its mature height, flower form and color. If you have room for a vigorous 10- or 20-foot clematis vine, there are many wonderful cultivars that will fit the bill.
Alternatively, leave clematis in this group unpruned, and then hard prune them to 30-90cm (1â3ft) from the base every three or four years in late winter (as for pruning group three).In the first year after renovation, they will only flower once. To encourage a second flush of flowers later in the season prune back some stems by cutting to large buds or a strong side shoot immediately below the blooms. 2  Top-heavy or overgrown plants can be gradually reduced over two to three seasons by pruning back harder after the first flush of flowers.
