When this baby girl arrived, I was so bummed. I've wanted a clematis for many years and this is the first time I've actually pulled the trigger. She came looking like a few twigs and with the saddest, yellowing, limp leaves you've ever seen, her plug soil was all over the box and she barely had any left with her... I called HBF unsure if she would make it. They advised to cut off the unhealthy growth- i did so reluctantly. HOWEVER, after about 3 days under my grow lights and with a bit of water/ into a mesh seedling pot (4" diameter) she produced new leaves. After about a week she was already 6-8" long and now that I am hardening her off for garden time, she is a beautiful 18" vine that is slowly turning brown to a wood stem! So happy! Can't wait to see the blooms she makes.
Does not seem to doing well. The other one I ordered has a vine about 4 feet long and this one is only three or four inches.
I can’t wait to have this add color and texture to my garden!
The plant has grown well, looking healthy. Just waiting for it to bloom now.
Good price, great looking plant. I can't wait to see the blooms!
