I'm very happy with my 'Cezanne' clematis. It was part of the patio series by Raymond Evison. It is supposed to stay small, and bloom profusely, so it should be perfect for containers. It was just getting settled into its new container when I took these pics.

Matt, Oh! beautiful and lots of flowers for a new plant! thanks, Sue

Ms Bateman does well for me in a pot. Its been a few years and it is still doing well. I think I put it in that particular pot last year.

I thought it was more floriferous than this, but this was the only pic I could find. THat spot is nearly full sun.

After it bloomed, I cut it down to 6" about a month ago and today I saw buds on it on a fresh 5' of new growth.

Gosh! Thats encouraging!

You got 5 feet of new growth in ONE month? WOW!!! What are you feeding her? That's amazing. A beautifully potted clematis I must say.

What gorgeous pictures! I really like the way you coralled in Ms. Bateman. You learn something new everday! The color of your Cezanne is breathtaking. What do you feed your clems?

Do you move your pots inside for the winter as the FAQ suggests?

I have one that I could never move full of dirt. It's about 2 feet tall, heavy plastic, so I think it gets quite hot. It gets sun from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.

I'm wondering if any Group 3 clematis would survive year round in this pot where it sits. Perhaps its "feet" would be too hot in the summer, and it might freeze in the winter, even if I mulched it well.

I have morning glories in it this year that have reached to the roof, but I want to see blooms all day long!

Any suggestions for my zone?

Thanks
