clematis from seed
I've grown my first clematis from seed...I gathered the seed in march this year...I placed them, fluffy bits and all, on top of a multi purpose compost, and watered with rainwater..then in a propagator until the seedlings emerged..kept them on the windowsill till they had two pairs of true leaves, then potted them up......

Lovely! Which species, do you know? I have tried Clematis alpina from seed a couple of times and failed, but would like to propagate it as it's so difficult to establish in my garden because of the slugs. I could try cuttings, but I'm even worse at those than I am at seed. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

I've done several but given them away as I prefer the little macropetla and Viticella types. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
