Hi there,

I am quite new to gardening.
Can I re-pot my Clematis Now? It is in a large plastic container and I would like to re-pot
it in a wooden container. It is just coming into flower. I think the plant is a Montana
Would it be better to leave it till it stops flowering?

'Evelyn',

If you can re-pot it without there being any root disturbance everything
will be fine, otherwise best to wait until it has flowered.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Me myself would not re pot a plant that is in flower
But like Davies said if you don't disturbe the roots it should be ok. I'f
your climatis is root bound then you should have no problem.

Thanks for replies. I think I will leave it to it finishes flowering, but I will check tomorrow
to see how easy it is going to be. Tonight it is raining.

Montanas round here stopped flowering weeks back
but to repot any plant when its flowering is not a good idea wait till
autumn
