I am a new clematis grower. Last year, I cut a clematis vine by acckdent during my spring cleanup. It looks a lot like a dead morning glory vine near the base. I was heartbroken when I saw all of the healthy green clematis foilage I accidently cut. I quickly made cuttings and dipped them in rooting hormone. I put some in the ground at the base of the cut plant, some in potting mix in soda bottles that i use for winter sowoing. Some of the ones in the bottles took, so I planted them. I think some of the ones in the ground may have taken because that plant looks extremely lush this spring. maybe it just liked being cut back.
I am moving this year. I am busy potting up all of my plants to move with me. I hate to miss so many spring blooms, but look forward to my future garden.
If you were in the neighborhood, you could have lots of cuttings to play with. I don't have time to mail any right now, sorry. I have to hurry and finish digging and packing. None of the people who said that they would help have come thru for me, yet.
