I recieved my order from Bluestone must say I am very happy with the clematis they are nice bushy plants ready for planting. I have ordered clematis from them in the past that were very spindly and I had to baby them along til they were large enough to plant. Also got some aquilegia that are much larger than previous orders so they will establish much faster in my garden. Each person has their own opinion but I like the larger plants of course my garden is quite established and only needs a few additional plants each season. In my climate where plants have a short period of time to get established before winter I much perfer the larger size plants.
