overwintering group 2

19 years ago

Winter is coming soon and I am not sure what to do with my type 2 clematis. I have a couple of Multi-blues and a Nelly Moser. Do I take them off the trellises? Or do I leave them up. It gets quite cold here on the Canadian Prairies. If I take them down, should I bury them with leaves? This is my first year with clematis.

I'm two zones warmer than you, so I don't know how good my advice will be. I have never done any winter protecting of my clemmies and most have come back fine, except for an evergreen one which shouldn't have been sold for my zone. I wonder whether you would get more help if you posted this question on a forum dedicated to gardening in far north zones.
