Clematis potaninii Seed – Milky white flowers

Clematis potaninii

Solid, dense clusters of sizeable, milky white, golden-eyed flowers appear on vigorous climbing stems all summer and into autumn. In autumn attractive silky seed heads appear. This rarely-seen but immensely valuable gem from China, will add value and colour by covering any boring old evergreen shrub or fence.

SOW SEEDS AT ANY TIME ONTO A GOOD SOIL-BASED COMPOST COVERING SEEDS WITH FINE GRIT OR COMPOST TO APPROXIMATELY THEIR OWN DEPTH. WE RECOMMEND GERMINATING AT 15 TO 20 DEGREES C. GERMINATION MAY BE VERY SLOW, PERHAPS 2-3 MONTHS, OR SOMETIMES MUCH LONGER, AND THESE SEEDS MAY SOMETIMES WAIT FOR SPRING BEFORE EMERGING. GROW ON INDIVIDUAL SEEDLINGS IN 3 INCH POTS BEFORE FINALLY PLANTING WITH CLIMBING SUPPORT IN A WELL-DRAINED SPOT OR VERY LARGE POT.
