Question
How do I split a Sweet Autumn Clematis.  I live in Minnesota

Thanks

Answer
Hi Robert,
Thanx for your question.  To separate Sweet Autumn Clematis, but the vine back to about 6 inches above the ground.  Dig up the rootball and divide it in half.  If each division has at least a handful or more of roots, you can divide each division again.  The idea is that each division will have a sufficient root system that the plant will survive in its new home.  Sweet Autumn clematis are very hardy and will grow from small root clusters.  I hope this helps.
