You are in a warm enough spot that your type 2 prune plants may bloom again in the fall. Mine don't, but my growing season is shorter than yours.

I'm in zone 7a, and my clematis stopped blooming in June. They're done. The leaves are still healthy, the vine is strong, but the flowers are o-v-e-r.

They were STUNNING this year. This photo was taken in June towards the end of bloom.

There are early season clematis and late season clematis :-) Most of the early season types have stopped blooming by now, although some may still offer a rebloom as Bab's indicates. However, now is prime season for the late blooming types and these should continue blooming well into fall. Late bloomers include most pruning group 3's but certainly Sweet Autumn clematis, any of the viticellas, texensis, tanguticas or jouinianas.

btw, Warsaw Nike is still blooming because it is a pruning group 3 and considered a late blooming LFH.

And if you live in a zone appropriate location, it is possible to have a clematis in bloom every month of the year including winter.....certainly possible in a z8 but also very likely in a z7 as well.

Even most of my type 3 clematis are past their big first flush. 'Betty Corning' This photo is from June but looked the same until our storm Thursday blew off most of the flowers. Lots of buds so expect it to look like this again soon. Same thing happened early July.

Many of the other clematis, both types 2 and 3, will continue to have a few blooms until frost. These two below are finishing their big flush.

These below are old photos but the blooms look much the same today.

Late blooming clematis speciosa, bush clematis
Clematis integrifolia, this one blooms from spring until frost

I have no Clematis in bloom at this time. The excessive heat and sun have done a job on most of them.

Hey Maximus! I've been searching GardenWeb for help with a Nelly Moser clematis and you are popping up in nearly every thread on Clematis. I saw that you are in NJ near me so I wanted to ask you a question personally. Hope you don't mind!!

I'm also in NJ (Hunterdon Co) and I've been slacking on planting a Nelly Moser bc I just don't know where it will be happy. I planted it in a large container when I got it bc i am indecisive and I couldn't seem to make it happy this summer. I've been reading that they might benefit from afternoon shade so their colors don't fade. Where do I plant this?! Even if you just give me a one word direction to face it that you think might be best in this area I'll be happy!

You can plant your vine anywhere that receives some afternoon shade.....an east facing aspect is good. And even if the vine got more afternoon sun, it should still flourish and bloom.....it is just the colors will be less intense and the center bar less defined. But the vine will grow perfectly well in full sun also.

Clems do take some time to establish before they really take off. So take the time to create a good, well amended planting hole, plant the vine deeply (4-6 inches deeper than in the pot) and provide plenty of water the first season. And then be patient for the first 3 years or so :-)) It will grow and you will get flowers but it won't be until somewhere in the 3rd to 5th year that the vine will really come into its own!!

thank you so much! it's such a beautiful plant, and such a staple in the garden, I wanna make sure it's gonna be around for years to come.
