Clematis armandii
8 Answers
I bought one of these 2 years ago. At first it was in the ground but didn't do anything. I transplanted to a large pot and it did manage to throw out a few new leaves but isn't any bigger than when I bought it. Am I doing some thing wrong?

lots of good care advice esp about pruning all types have a peruse. I have one which flourishes on a south facing site. Some times they take a while to establish then they are off. I have to admit mine is pretty hardy. I have lost maybe two out of twenty clematis when they were planted.

I would agree with the other answers. There's an old saying about clematis plants- "they like their leaves in the sun and their roots in the cool". If you feel yours is getting too hot ,place a stone over the root, and keep it well watered. As a rule they are a vigorous plant and tend to do better in the soil once you've got it going. I give mine a potash feed at the end of spring and again at the end of Sept. to encourage flowering, for growth use a general fertilizer.
