Hi Everyone!
I just stole a clematis from my neighbor. Well, not exactly, because he was standing there watching me, but I've been trying to get the plant since he bought it a couple of months ago. It is still in it's pot, and about 1/4 dead, so I actually saved it. It's Madame Julia Correvon. I saw it in bloom when he first got it, and it was stunning.
I got it for the side of my house, where I have another clematis growing that doesn't get tall enough. I have no idea what the name of it is, but it only gets about 4 feet tall, and it is covered in pink blooms. The tag, which I've lost, said it should get 8 feet tall, which was perfect. I planted it there so that it would grow over the arch that I have, wanting it to mingle with the Jackmanni that I have growing on the other side. That never happened.
Now I want to remove the short clematis, and plant this new on in it's place. But, I'm not sure if clematis transplant easily or not. The short one has been in the ground for about 5 years, but I don't know what the root system is like.
Any suggestions? I've got plenty of trellis on my fence that I can plant it next to, but I'm not sure if it's worth trying or not!
