Clematis scottii
« on: March 04, 2007, 10:29:22 AM »
 :o  For some unknown reason two of my Clematis scottii seeds
      germinated.  Hooray!

Now I ask, please:  How do I grow them on?

They are under lights and doing well, but I beg advice now as I do not want to lose them.  I use fish emulsion, 1/4 strength every two weeks.

Thank you,

Corinne

How are your scottiis doing Corinne? It's not one I know (perhaps someone can beam me up some seeds ;)) I'd certainly like to know how they did under lights.

Rather well, thank you.

I tried to post a picture, but...

Up four inches now, and have just snipped, hoping for more
basal shoots.

The seem to be doing well under the light.

Did you want some seed?  I may have some left.

I believe many botanists regard Clematis scottii as a subspecies of C. hirsutissima. Very nice plants, so take good care of them.
I have seedlings growing on of both subspecies/species. They can they cold pretty well, though, coming from high altitudes in the USA. They have survived ok here in Norway.They are relatively small plants, and should be grown in a rock garden with good drainage, I suppose.
The first year they tend to keep very small, only a couple of cm high.
Good luck with

Corinne,

VERY nice!!  How are your seedlings doing now, 3 months after they germinated?

I just love Clematis.  I grow what species I can find, plus lots of cultivars.  I've tried seed a couple of times of different things, but rarely get germination (except from fresh seed from Rob in Tassie.... and I've forgotten the species name).  So many species I see in books that I'd love to grow, and obviously scottii will have to be added to that list.  8)

Ooh, I really like.  Will be on the lookout to get this one.  Expect it will do well in gravel if it likes rockeries.  Thanks folks

Rob,

Really?  I thought I would have recalled that particular name.  The seedlings have done very well, but have not yet flowered for me.  I would be hoping that the largest should flower this year.  Thanks again!!
