I was wondering if anyone is familiar with Clematis vines? Last spring I bought two of these plants and they did beautifully all summer. This spring there is a problem....they haven't starting growing again!!! :flower: First of all, I pruned the vines in the early spring according to the growing instructions that came with the plants. Most of my yard is quite shady, and I have the vines planted in an area that gets about 4-6 hours of sun daily. So far this spring we have had a lot of cloudy, rainy days and it has been mostly cool. The vines are suited for zones 4-9, and I live in zone 4. My question is, since the vines haven't started to grow again are they still in their dormant state or are they dead????
