I have tried numerous times and numerous ways to get cuttings of our plant to grow without success. Is there a secret I need to know? Bottom heat and mist during summer (April to September) about 6" long, I use 3 node cuttings with two leaves removed. It is possible to do hard wood cuttings when they are dormant but its a bit heavy on the propagating material especially in the uk where they don't make that much heavy wood. Cultivars vary a good bit in how easy they are, I have a pink that roots in about 10 days while a purple takes 3 months. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

I have always tried to take them at the same time as my Pels, August/Sept, so perhaps that is the problem. Our's is a flesh pink one so hopefully if I take the cuttings at the correct time it will root quickly. -- Regards Bob Hobden |
