I have a clematis plant which is doing vvery well and shooting up, unfortunately it is like Jack's beanstalk growing vertically. Does any know how I can stop it going up and to spread out? Do I need to train it across a trellis or something?

Thanks

If you nip the extreme top of it out, it will sprout from lower down and make a thicker plant.

Yes train it actoss a trellis is a good idea. But be very careful with the tips of the stems as they are extremely fragile and break off easily.
