I'm so happy! I really can't believe it, but the new clematis is blooming already! I am sure that there were no visable buds on it when I planted it just a few days ago, and now there is a flower blooming, and it's covered in little buds! I had cut all of the dead stuff out of it before planting it, and it was looking so bad that I wasn't sure it was even going to survive. The bloom is much smaller than the one I saw on it when my neighbor bought it a couple of months ago, but it's still beautiful.
My question now is, should I cut off the blooms and buds? I really don't have good luck with Clematis, so I'm not sure if letting it bloom is a good idea, when it probably needs to work on building roots, instead. Any suggestions on that would be appreciated!
