Clematis from saved seed
« on: September 10, 2017, 15:11 »
I thought I'd have a go  :D
There's lots of info on the web, but as usual it is very contradictory, so wondered if anyone here had actually done it?

I haven't, but my Dad did. He grew a whole lot of a variety he  called Jackson's purple, but may well have been a C.jackmannii

He pulled off some seeds from a plant he came across on a walk (Not to be recommended, I'm just saying!) and sowed them in gritty compost covered over about half an inch deep. My job was cutting off the feathery bit as he said it would rot. The pot sat along the shady side of the shed and I know there were small plants by Guy Fawkes night, as I had to move the pot so it wouldn't be directly under the Catherine wheel nail. It was a tallish pot, not a 3ins size one, presumably to accommodate clematis' deep roots, or maybe so it didn't freeze in the Winter

There were purple flowered clematis in the garden for years, so they must have grown.

A bit of a story there, but it might help a bit  :D

You can buy seed so I can't see why saving them wouldn't work
