Planting clematis

Clematis like their heads in the sun and their roots in the shade, so when planting, plant them deep. Monty Don digs a hole at least twice the depth of the pot, then adds plenty of his home made garden compost before planting. After watering well, Monty finishes off with another thick layer of compost. This will provide the feed and moisture retentive conditions they need to thrive.
