clematis question

[beccab]

Does anyone know why a clematis would not bloom? It is in a lot of sun but roots are shaded & covered with mulch. Was planted 3yrs ago. Foliage grows like crazy.

I'm not a clematis expert but sometimes you get foliage and no flowers if you fertilize too much.

Anyone else have a clue????

Hi beccab! :)

Gina could be right! Here's a link to a FAQ's about Clematis (http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/clematis/faq.htm#q7) , which includes a question similar to yours about half way down the page.

I hope it helps! :)
