I find that matching them with plants that complement their growth form helps (i.e., not too be or spready).They seem to do best in well drained loam. For us: you may need more drainage in wetter climates.Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-65515765262125949832015-05-14T09:21:21.091-07:002015-05-14T09:21:21.091-07:00Thanks for yet another great post.

Any truth to that?<br /><br />And in what kind of soil are C. albicoma, C. fremontii and C. scottii growing at DBG? (A little research tells me that C. albicoma, for instance, is native to shale barrens, but that doesn't help me decide how to plant the single seedling I have of this species.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-77534010563873405532015-05-11T19:13:12.293-07:002015-05-11T19:13:12.293-07:00The clematis seeds you sent me have grown into nic...The clematis seeds you sent me have grown into nice little plants.
