I went to Home Depot last Sunday for the first time this year(plant browsing only)and they had some nice looking H.F. Young clematis and I came near buying it. I lost my comtesse de bouchard last year. Those at HD had a lot of growth on them..it was so tempting..but with this hot weather 90-102 degrees; I chickened out. I would rather wait till Fall or early Spring to get one. Don't know if they sell them in the early Fall but it just seems if you can plant some things in the Fall, it has a better chance at making it, does that make sense? I think that clematis was in prunning group#2..I know I looked it up but should have written it down so I won't have to look it up again. I have in my garden journal a list of all the clematis and what prunning group they are in. I only want Group#3.
I have seeds from a friend's multi-blue clematis and I forgot to plant them. I know it takes a long time to grow from seeds, but I'd sure like to try. I am not a patient gardener though.
