Clematis "Duchess of Albany"
Clematis "Duchess of Albany"
Asked on 1 May, 2008
I have a clematis "Duchess of Albany" and I have been told that it is shy at flowering ! I had it in a pot for a few years but it never flowered. This is it's second year in the garden and it makes lots of growth. Can anyone suggest how I can get it to flower more.

It did flower last year (It's second year in the ground) but not many flowers!

Keep feeding, then, and it sound as though it is gradually building up to being a good sturdy plant! Fingers crossed for you....

Clematis are greedy plants and need lots of feeding, and the recommendation is a handful of blood, fish and bone forked around it in the spring with a mulch, then another dry feed at the beginning of June or give a liquid feed every three weeks during the growing season. Also, give it time, as it isn't meant to flower yet - it's a July - October one. It may yet surprise you!
