Hi MollyD & Goldandrew;

The species' seeds do come true to its parentage (i.e. Sweet Autumn Clematis). The hybrids I don't believe they will. I would try to take cuttings from what you've pruned off. I'm trying this method earlier this season. I cut them into small segments. Each with a node. Potted them in 4" good potting soil. (I use Promix) Keep them moist, and in the shade. If they do indeed take root. I'll keep you all updated later. I've seen some odd seedlings of clematis in the vicinity of my hybrid varities; I'm waiting to see what their blooms will be like, even their leaves don't resemble any of the other vines that I've. SAC's seedlings however looks very much like its parent. My SAC was orginally seeded by birds. I planted it and now it's taking over my Roses arbor. (People have problem with this vine being self-sow, mine after 3 years. I've found one seedling) It's so cute, I think I'll offer it to someone that would enjoy it.
