Dr. Ruppel is prunning type 2 which should have been prunned and fed about mid March here, which I didn't get accomplished..along with all the dried leaves from last summer. It didn't produce this Spring like it normally does. There are still dried leaves. How do we remove them or do we just have my pruning man cut it way back in the Fall, like a Type 3 to cut all the dead wood out?
There seems to always be a few long stems that fall down onto other plants and wrap itself around them. I've heard of layering down on the ground. Can I take and fill a large nursery pot with potting mix and pin a stem down into the soil to see if it will take and start another clematis vine. Has anybody done this before and how?
