Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I was so excited when I found this plant on Great Garden Plants. It is so unique, I just had to have it. I planted it last fall and am already seeing my first bloom this spring. Can't wait until it fills the trellis with blooms!
It arrived in fantastic shape. No issues. Green health and ready to go. Little to no stress from shipping. Awesome job!!
Just got in ground. Onviously a little sad in the heat. Csnt wait for blooms!
Can’t wait to see it bloom
A clematis needs time to establish. Mine has grown some but, now, it must be putting the effort on roots. Maybe I’ll have flowers next year.
Large plant very happy to find this Clematis at a great price , Thank you . Judy
The purple clematis i received is growing well but the funyella has not grown at all.
I was very pleased with the plant I received. It was packed very well. I have ordered a number of plants over the years when I can’t find exactly what I want at the local nursery. This by far was the best packed plant I have received. Plant itself was very healthy with a nice root structure. It’s been planted in my landscape for a couple of weeks now and seems healthy and happy. I have downloaded your app and will definitely order again. Very happy with the plant, packaging, and the abundance of information sent about the plant and how to treat it upon arrival. Excellent experience start to finish!
I was excited to find a yellow clematis. It arrived with an order with other plants. They were packaged well and great quality plants. I planted her next to a climbing Malvern Hills rose. She is growing slowly but in great shape.
Plant arrived healthy and has been planted. It was late in the season, so I am optimistic for next year. The gardenia is blooming very well though! Thank you

Hello. I’m zone 4. When would I plant Roses and Clematis in the ground? April or should I wait until May
Spring is a great time for planting! The rule of thumb for spring planting is to get the plants in the ground once the threat of frost has passed and the ground has become workable. If you are not sure when your average last frost is, you can check out our gardening articla about frost dates:

What type of pruning does the Funyella clematis require?
Funyella™ Clematis does not need any pruning. However, if you wish to prune, do so after spring bloom.
