ClematisBI

I have fed my clematis this year with vitax clematis food..thought I would give them a treat. However, very few flowers but absolutely enormous leaves. I followed the instructions on the box carefully. Some of the leaves are a good 8/10" long. Where have I gone wrong?

    clematis feed is quite often used for growth not flowers, on the plus side next year you should have a good show

    Hi 

    My Clematis love a good drop of tomato feed up to flowering and have, up to yet, always give me a good show of flowering dud to this. I feed  them every 2 weeks

    I used tomato feed last year and that did work well. Think I will go back to that. I have a good many clematis and thought the pellets might cut my work down a bit. Oh well, back to the watering can!
