Re: Clematis

I have just taken 6 cuttings from one of my clematis tonight, I have never done that before, so I shall be well chuffed in any take root.

Re: Clematis

Some clematis are harder than others..Montana is the easiest.I take dozens each year.
I use a rooting gel in a sandy compost mix....each cutting in a small pot covered for a few weeks with half a pop bottle.If overwinter the leaves drop don't throw away...scrape the stem with a knife...if it's green it's alive.

Re: Clematis

That is a clever idea with the pop bottles.

Re: Clematis

Lovely just planted a white Alba by the shed at the caravan hoping it will go over the shed and show us and our neighbour a lovely lot of flowers next year and beyond, have to pay him back for his show of lilacs which only flowers on our side

Re: Clematis

We have several in our garden of different colours, one has to be careful they don't take over, I am always cutting the plants back.
