collecting clematis armondii seeds
My clematis armondii is getting near the end of it's spring flowering.
I was wondering if I could collect the seeds and then sow some to grow on. Are the seeds the little white stalk like bits in the middle that are all falling off onto the ground ? How do they need to be sown and grown , how long do they take to grow , can I just store them , what is the best time to sow them ? Cheers Colin |

Cheers Colin No, they are the tails off the un fertilized seed, look where the flowers were and the seeds are about the size of fennel with a tail attached, you must wait until they are ripe before harvest then its sow and wait. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

OK how about tomato seed? point is there is a swollon seed at the base of the tail if its been fertilized, C. armandi does not set seed often in the uk as it is flowering while it is too cold, but you may get lucky and find the odd one. sadly the resulting plants will most likely be rubbish in comparison with one of the named ones. (unlike some clematis which always produce something garden worthy. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
