I've not heard that...so the shade from the mail boxes or such give their feet shade. I need to give this some thought ...THANK YOU. A friend helped me on my roses that weren't doing well...she told me they do not like to share roots. I spaced them out and they are doing great! Have a good day.

NIKK here is some information on Clematis. Also if I recall some types need pruning and other types don't.

How has your Wisteria been doing since you transplanted it?

"Clematis needs deep soaking on a regular basis to bloom well. The idea that the vines want their feet in the shade is because soil that is not exposed to direct sun retains moisture longer. Mulching helps retain moisture, but clematis should receive at least 1 inch of water a week, thoroughly soaking the root ball."
