Looking around on the web, this is totally the wrong time to be transplanting a clematis, but I'm going to try anyway. I've got to get the other one in the ground so that I don't lose it, and I'd much rather lose this short one than the new one. I thought the tag was long gone on the short one, but I found it today when I was ripping out the stonecrop that is growing at the base of the clem. It's Little Duckling, and the tag lists it as 6 feet tall, but it's been half of that. After 5 years, I would have expected it to reach 6 feet, but it's not close. I said earlier that it was about 4 feet, but I just measured, and it's only 3 feet. It really is pretty, so I'd hate to lose it, but it has to be moved! I have horrible luck with clematis in general, so I'm surprised that this one has done so well. Now let's just hope it does well after being moved!
