Gonna prune her all the way back and dig her up...anyone interested in adopting her?
Sweet Autumn Clematis...any takers?!?!?
If I don't "hear" from anyone by the weekend gonna post this over in the trade forum...I just like to give friends a chance first. ^_^
Hi Chantell,
if you still have it, I would love to have some.
I would also like to have some cuttings. I have been away from the computer over the weekend and did not see your posting. Postage sent if you will notify me. THanks Elaine
Hey Usha - how are you? How are those tabernaemontana-double-flore plena cuttings coming along?
Hi Chantell,
they will be mailed to you soon-prob one to two weeks. Our weather is still very HOT here to mail anything.
Chantell, was it a few cuttings or just one plant?
ALL: does anyone know or can someone check if root stock can be divided? I was going to cut mine back and ship out the root stock. I will have plenty of cuttings for whoever would like to try those. I've heard clematis is one of the more difficult ones to try and root but again, I have plenty so just let me know.
Chantell, they would probably know for sure on the Propagation forum, I'm new to all that so I have no clue.
I have seeds, my friend...happy to share those as well. ^_^
O O O O OOOOOOO!
Ahh the king of rooting - should send you cuttings!!!!
Geeze, I have seedlings all over my yard--next year remind me! They can't be that hard to start, lol

Chantell,
I would love some if there is any left.

PS Anyone waiting for Clerodendron seeds...I have misplaced them and will mail as soon as I find them.
Hey Birdie - my back yard is swamp like currently...I'm hoping for some dry weather between now and the weekend so I can get that thing dug up. There should be plenty of cutting if folks would like to attempt rooting it but I'm still not sure about dividing the root ball...gotta wait till I see it.
OK. It's been getting pretty cold here. I can't Even bring myself to mow,keep hoping for warm spell!

Everyone, be sure to look up Sweet Autumn Clematis before planting it... it can be a thug, and it may also be invasive in some areas (spreading by seeds). I've got one, and I do love the blooms, but this may be its last year if I can't get it to behave a bit better. I'm going to try cutting it all the way back. Seeds should be easy to come by in the trade forum if viola runs out... I don't think I saved any this year.
Chantell, I don't know about dividing root stock, but when you dig it up you might well find multiple plants at the base, given its tendency to self-sow.
I've moved my big one 3 times and never had it return in the same place. Now it covers one of those ugly telephone poles in the yard. I've had mine for about 10 years and just noticed the seedlings a few years back. Since they're easy to pull out in damp soil I don't consider it invasive myself--just enough to share and sell.
Here it's just starting and my perennial pink moonvine (unscented) is just opening or closing, lol.
A plant's potential to be invasive certainly varies by location. I suspect birds may be carrying seeds of mine further than I think. It can also be a thug with its rampant growth, but sometimes that sort of habit is just the ticket. I'm not trying to start a debate, just suggesting that people check the mixed reviews on PF for this plant and decide what will work in their garden. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/683/
Very true! I live in the middle of 18 acres and wouldn't mind it covering my hilly woods, but it hasn't yet. I do know about battling the wild honeysuckle!
LOL - it has taken over one of my fences....and I cringe as I say it but NO, I've yet to detect a scent...at least not a wafting one. For me personally - either knock me out with your flowers (Passis) or your scent...or you go to a new home...which WILL happen by spring.
Mine smells sweet, but it's a light fragrance.
