You will get several suggestions if the right people visit the forum. I can only speak about vendors I have used so there may be better suggestions. For me Brushwood is the best I have tried when both quality and price are considered. The plants are quart sized but well rooted and ready to put in the ground and the price includes postage. Dan ships by priority mail and I get the packages in California the second day after they are mailed.

I agree with Bob - I got well-rooted specimens from Brushwood and would definitely recommend them.

Brushwood's site says 'error, not found' - does anyone else have that problem? I tried looking it up several ways - maybe the site is just temporarily down......

Dan's site is down as well as his forums obviously..try it later..otherwise you can check out Debbie's Clematis at "SilverStarVinery
She has AWESOME ROOTED CLEMATIS...Jeanne

Here is a link that might be useful: SILVER STAR VINERY

I also have to commend Brushwood. I got a couple of Henryi, and they showed up in excellent condition, earlier than expected. A great impression overall :)

Hi,
I am not usually in this area, but I wanted to say that this year I have purchased from the 2 listed sellers mentioned abovefor the first time this year. My experiences-

1. Silver Star Vinery has the biggest rootballs I have ever seen. Massive does not describe the size. No kidding. Small top growth, but of course I expect them to explode once settled in.

2. Bushwood, very very nice. The plants came in quart sized containers, and the top growth is very impressive. One of them has buds. Perfect condition no wilt, no stress, you would never know they traveled through the postal service. Very nice. I like that postage is included in the price and there is a discount if you buy so many. Just makes it all feel good.

I am very pleased with both vendors and I will purchase from both again without hesitation. I will also say that Debbie from Silver Star has great communication, fast and very professional.

That is my experience. I am sure you can not go wrong with either!

For me I would rather buy from a local nursey. At least in my area you can get good size clems for ten bucks. No shipping charges. Unless you cant get the kind you want. I would try looking in your area first. Good Luck.
