Description

The listing, Clematis seeds, 5 qty has ended.

Clematis is a very pretty perennial vine, with large flowers. These seeds are open pollinated so what you may get is up to the bees. The flowers were a medium pink with darker pink stripes down the center of each petal (the first photo), dark purple, white and reddish-purple, growing right along side each other, so it’s anyone’s guess what these seeds will produce. Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, needs light support or something to climb, grows about 8-12 feet long. They like full sun too, but you'll want to mulch the roots heavily or plant a low-growing groundcover over them for the natural cooling effect and moisture retention.
Questions & Comments
Original
I too have trouble, but oddly enough, the very first time I tried to grow clematis from seed when I knew nothing about them, the vine took off like a shot! Now, it is hit or miss--mostly miss to tell the truth-- on getting the seeds to germinate. I have much better luck propagating by layering. I would try to soak the seeds for a day before planting in a nice potting soil and keep it in the house to monitor it carefully for dryness and such. After that it is just luck you need! LOL
