Hi Roy
been trying to reach you  on your e-mail addr. (from IClS members list) but get my mail return.  Could you send me your addr, Please, I'm in IClS list
 I'm getting close to potting up, so I'll get a pic of one of my single stemmed Viticella cultivars and post it here, on the wild viticella species you will get masses of stems, but you will not find many of them in the trade.
Cheers Peer

Avoid single stemmed rooted cuttings sold in 7 to 9 centimeterpots, as they will need to be grown on for a year or two potting oninto 3 litre pots to ensure adequate size of root ball for planting inthe garden, I should imagine this is what one is likely to get fromsome internet sites.

Hi Peer,
 
Not one of your customers; I think your mail order charges would be excessive anyway!
 
It is interesting to know how Clematis grow in different countries, but even in our garden we get diffeing flowering periods in the same plant. One Etoile Violette has been on flower for tree weeks but the other one 20 yards away has only one flower open at the moment. Strange that the one that has flowered first is slightly more in shade than the single flowered one. Yet a Princess Dianna in full sun has been on flower for two weeks, but the East facing one very close to the fully flowering Etoile Violette does not even have a bud on yet. Most viticellas of 3 or 4 years age will have at least 10 stems in our garden. A 15 year old viticella species collected in Iran has more stems than I would wish to count, probably close on a hundred, as said they like our chalk soil.
 
I have seen C. sibirica growing in vertually pure acidic sand in Estonia, but replicating the conditions in our garden resulted in failure, possibly too warm for them here? Yet all other Atragenes cope with our soil, but possibly would do even better in acidic soil.
 
Cheers

Thanks Peer,
 
Now I have two plants and the site info, I should try a couple of methods and report.
 
Thanks
 
Peer for the Website.

 About single stemmed clematis. Iwould never buy a single stemmed clematis,

Glad you are not one of mycustomerSmile
Ifyou lived here and wanted Viticellas and some other summer floweringClematis you would have to live with they only come with a singlestem, if the one shoot/stem break of it will be replaced(from below),but with 'Kermesina' I got plants in the garden 6-7 years old withsingle stem, 'Victoria' do often only produce more than one the first3-4 years, they still grow quite happy (don't really need more thanone stem, a lots of pioneering shrubs only do sucker when in poorconditions) The Atragene are a NO NO here (we can grow them well asannuals , but they never get much size, so to make up you have toplant masses) , they need a winter, bye the way they grow well onacidic soil in west Sweden as well as on alkaline in east. On theother hand Cl. 'Abundance' do produce masses of shoots/stems.'Kermesina' do produce an abundance of flowers as well as 4-5 metreof growth along the fence. The Viticellas do well in the hot areashere, I think plants often handle Cold or Hot the same way. We arequite temperate here, close to the sea, the snow 50 km away, and200-300metre up when low.

Cheers Peer

Roy, I had the same experience during winter because after winter was not in a very good condition. I could not find the good conditions but the plant had every year flowers in the greenhouse.
I have given my plant to Mike Brown.

Hi Peer,
 
Do you grow C. gentianoides, I have plants, but find that I struggle with them. Usually when I get plants they are grown in very rich compost and there is usually a lot of root damage. I have found that they do not survive the winter in a cold greenhouse if left in this compost. I usually wash off all the old compost cut away any black roots, dust with yellow sulphur and pot on into my open alpine mix, which is suitable for my collection of NZ clematis. I find growth seems to be slow when using this mix but the plants survive the winter. Do you think extra feed is required, stopping in August? When to prune? How to get more flowers?
 
Any info from anyone who grows this plant successfully would be most helpful.
 
My latest plant was obviously propogated in one of the jiffey bags, I have carefully removed this bag, as invarably I find that if left intact the crown of the plant rots over winter. The use of these bags or the rockwool prop cells may be an advantage to the grower, but for the gardener I find they are a nightmare as invarably they suck up too much moisture at the crown of the plant causing rot at this point.
 
Best wishes
 
Roy W Nunn

Hi Ron,
 
Very often some group threes in our garden are starting to flower in May, this year the early group threes were delayed by about a month, by cold winter and late frosts.
Pettit Foucon (or should I say New Eriostemon) and Kaiu are usually in flower in May but this year it was mid June before the first flowers showed.
 
I suspect that, if the weather remains hot and dry some clematis will stop flowering early in the summer, but some restart if the weather becomes favourable in autumn. There are usually a large number of clematis that do not produce a profusion of flowers all at once that will continue to flower until stopped by the November frosts. C Vanessa is usually a good late flowerer for me and C. Kaiu seems to flower all summer no matter what weather it has to put up with.
 
Keep watering and feeding!
 
Roy
