MessageThank you so much for putting your experience on this website. I discovered it after sowing some seeds of LFH 'Fujimusume' in April 2011. These were left in a north facing position outside and the first seedling appeared in December 2011, with the rest following in spring 2012. I have kept two plants and given the rest away due to lack of space.
I still refer to your site for cultural tips and am eagerly awaiting my first flower!
Many thanks, Anna

MessageI have seeds from beside Smith Lake in NW AL, USA. I believe they are C. reticulata or common name Leather flower.

I have tried before but now I feel like I know what I am doing.

Thanks so much for your information and sharing your ------------------------------------------That's extremely interesting; they may be reticulata but they could well be something else. It would be really interesting to see the results of germination or have photos of the plants that the seeds came from, but even then, ID would not be completely straightforward. I will email you!

MessageI've been planting clematis seeds for three years now but so far, no germination. I've tried putting them in the refridgerator over the winter and actually planting them in the fall so they receive the freezing/thawing effect. I'm in zone 5.

I'll keep trying. I'd appreciate any ................Hi Cathy why don't you email me and I will put you in touch with some American friends and they will give you lots of help. Or email me.

MessageBrian,

Just arrived back in UK from US. I was away for 3 years and lost some of my nice clematis while away. I am going to try and grow some from seed using the book I bought from you. I also had bought some lovely ones from you and i was wondering if you are still selling any texensis or viorna ..........Sorry Mike, don't have any seedlings available just at present, but sure you will do well raising them.

MessageBrian, thanks for reminding me about your wonderful, informative site. I had it bookmarked already; and now that I have seedlings to baby, your info is tremendous help.

The crispa seedlings that died was due to my impatience. Now I know to "wait" till they get more established.

The Nelly Moser seedlings are just up and some still have their seed coat.

Thanks again for your fabulous site.
