I bought a clematis at Lowe's today

Online it would have cost over sixty dollars

I took it out of the pot in my hands to look at the roots

It had roots like a three year clematis

great root system and healthy ..

as I planted it because they had overwatered all their clematis the flowers and stem came apart

the crown is not rotted and it's got good attachment to the plentiful root system

Have you had one thtive with out the green left on the crown
It had some green but trying to get it out to plant

it came unattached
Here it is when I brought it home
They had saturated the pot and it would not have lived three more days

The roots were orange color and filled the bottom two inches of the pot

I'm guessing it will probably grow but not flower this year. I've never cut one back that close to the ground. I've killed my fair share of clematis so, hopefully someone will have an answer for you.
