clematis -Reply

I have never heard that!  I guess my clematis hasn't either because right
now I have compost 5-8  inches deep spread about a foot in each
direction  and a few boughs of evergreens on top of that  around each
of  my clematis.  I thought since they liked cool roots a thick mulch would
be helpful.  Right now my Nelly Moser and Sugar Candy each have about
6-8 blooms each  the size of dinner plates, and my Sweet Autumn is
already about 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

This weekend I spread cedar mulch on one of my beds, and then heard
that
mulch can kill clematisis.  I suppose if I would have stopped to think about
it I could have figured that out on my own. :) 

My question is, should I completely remove the mulch from the area
surrounding the clematis, or can I feel safe in knowing the mulch is not
"touching" the plant?
