I have this in a pot HF Young I think is the name (? ) and it seems to not be happy in the pot. I would like to take it out and plant it directly in the ground. I have trouble with the wind blowing it and breaking it off at the base/crown where it contacts to the soil even though I have it tied up with some yarn. I have read that clematis like to be buried deeper than the crown. How deep can I bury it? When it blooms it tends to bloom down low and no blooms up at the top where the new growth is. Does it bloom on old wood? How can I encourage it to bloom taller? I'd like to plant it in the ground and plant a munchkin oakleaf hydrangea in front of it, but then I wouldn't see any blooms if I can't get it to bloom higher up. Can I fix any of this, or do I need a different variety altogether for my spot?
