2nd year for clematis

20 years ago

Hi, I was reading the forum and thought I'd ask a question. I bought one of the little boxed clematis at Lowe's last spring. It was only a couple of inches tall. I learned here that I should not let it bloom and keep it pruned to help establish it, so I did. It's coming up now and it's just a few inches tall. There's one little bud on the top. Should I clip that? And if I do, will it bloom this year? It's in a very sunny spot, but I never added mulch. I'm going to do that. I planted it next to my mailbox. Should I add some sort of small trellis or will it climb the post if I help guide it that way? I'm sorry, I don't know the name, but the picture on the box looked just like the one on this page...I don't know if that helps.
