Such a clever solution - using bottomless pots. Thanks for sharing your great tips.

Fab idea with bottomless pots.  I've started to do this in my gravel garden with a few plants.  I have a clematis in a big pot and it seems happy and growing well.  The roots will find their way through the gravel.

I really like the idea of bottomless pot.

This video has inspired me to try my hand growing clematis. I need a day in the dirt to get out of the doldrums. Thank you for motivating me in this direction.

This is a marvelous garden with so much beauty, and you explain everything so clearly and interesting.

This is a very useful video. I'm a gardening novice and have just bought my first clematis. I was unsure how to plant and care for her however your wonderful method is the answer I was  looking for. Thanks Ken.

Ken thank you for this outstanding overview of growing clematis in general and also how to do it in pots. Last year I was considering different ways to plant clematis in my garden and you have just opened a whole New World for me and possibilities for my patio and porch thank you so much.

Thank You for showing me, you can plant Clemtics in pots..Now I will do mine..Your Garden is lovely.. God Bless Princess Kate!! Love her and  Prince William..❤🙏❤🇺🇸❤

Your garden has more plants than a nursery would have.... beautifully maintained

Ken its so good to see you! I didn't think you were coming back. What a fantastic video. This has helped me a lot.  I have many clematis but have planted some in the ground and now I wish I had kept them in pots haha. Explaining how you grow them on and around things is a fantastic help to us I think.  I have bought many clematis that grow just too tall and I can't see the heads up that high so watching how you train clematis would make a fantastic video as a follow on to this one. It was a brilliant watch and has gave me many ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.  Your garden is looking beautiful as always

Thank you for taking your time and knowledge. From US

Firstly you have a beautiful garden and your knowledge and presentation on clematis has been very helpful Thank You

Thank you for this video, makes me miss my large flowered Clematis I had at our previous house, but we needed to move to a smaller house and garden for several reasons,  mainly we are getting older! I now have a much smaller garden and  its mainly lawn, but I definitely will take on your excellent advice.

What a joy to watch you in your garden! Thank you for a really useful video. Clematis are one of my favourites, but I now live in Ireland where it's often wet, so your use of pots has given me food for thought.

I also grow mine in pots. Mostly because I forget where I planted them otherwise.

Ours family did leave a message in the we had when .i was about 5.  My mum did all of the home decorating and she decided to strip off the old wallpaper in the lounge, and re paper it.  After all the paper was off the walls, Mum drew a picture frame above the fireplace and wrote a message about who we were.  Then my mum and dad dated and signed it.  I distinctly remember Dad lifting me and my sister up, so we could also write our name.  Then, the next day my mum wallpapered over it.

Great news!

Is back!
Seems like I have watched each of your videos 2 or more times and shared them with friends. Each time I learn a bit more.
Thank you for sharing all your wisdom with us.  I love the idea of bending the integrafolia into an arch!  Also the fact that Mrs Cholmondeley died.  I thought I was one of the few avid growers that had deaths. I love putting pots in pots because it allows us to have more clematis. Also in my area to plant directly in a ceramic pot would cause the pot to crack. This fall I will be digging up many clematis in my yard and adding them to my fenced patio because deer have been eating the leaves and buds up to 5'.  my only other alternative is to put a 5' fence around each clematis and keep them in clematis prison.
When I winter over clematis in plastic pots I round them up and cover them with lots of clippings from ornamental grasses.  They survive just fine in my zone 7/6
Each year I seem to learn a bit more and buy more,,,,,after 50+ I really stopped counting.
Your videos are a true gift to those of us who love clematis and want to learn.
Thank you,
