Canadian Gardening: Anyone growing Sweet Autumn Clematis?, 1 by sanannie

Hi sugarshokt, I've grown Sweet Autumn Clematis (C. terniflora) for about five years, I guess. One year it didn't come back and I had to replant. But it is a bit slow to get going in the spring so now I wonder if I had been more patient, would it have come back from the roots. Anyway, it's lovely. And fragrant! Bloomed all of August and September here last year. As for being invasive, it is definitely not invasive here, but I can't say for warmer climes whether it would be or not.

I'm trying seed Clematis mandshurica which is said to be hardier than terniflora.

Here is a pic I scanned from 2004 on the pergola.
