Dear All,

I wanted to ask if Clematis seeds require cold treatment to germinate, or do they germinate better (i.e., higher % germination) when subjected to cold temperatures? I have a bunch of seeds I received in a trade a few years ago, and with about another month of cold night time temperatures left to go, I wanted to take advantage of natural conditions to germinate them. Any advice would be great for a newbie to Clematis.

Best regards,

Joseph

Joseph, I have never grown Clematis from seed, mainly because I've always heard that germination can take as long as a year, but here's a link to Brian Collingwood's information about it. He's a recognized expert in the field.
