Recommendation for nurseries

16 years ago

Hello everyone;

I would like to purchase couple of Clematis (probably, Jackmani Cle.) online and wanted to know, which nurseries you all recommend?

I will be planting it in semi-shade area. Do all think it would do fine in that area?

Thank you.

    I've attached a link to a recent thread that discusses online sources. Some are better than others (customer service, plant quality, selection) so do your research first. Jackmanii is a very popular and common clematis, so you shouldn't have much difficulty in locating one :-) It should also very likely be available at local retail nurseries or garden centers, eliminating the need for ordering and associated shipping costs.

    Most clematis prefer at least 6 hours of sun to thrive and bloom well, but partial shade is doable. The heavier or longer the period of shade, the less flowering is likely to occur.

    Here is a link that might be useful: online clematis sources

    gardengal;

    Thank you for the info. It was very helpful. I will stop by at our local nursery and see if they have it. You pointed out a good point, if its a common Clematis, i would think any nursery would carry them and I don't have to pay the crazy shipping for it.

    Thank You again.

    They say to plant them 2 inches deeper than the soil level in the pot.

    I like Brushwood Nurseries www.gardenvines.com and also Klehm's Song Sparrow www.songsparrow.com but the first was out of Polish Spirit so picked mine up from a subvendor at amazon.

    I'd rather buy online even if a little pricier as it's too much running to hit so many places now locally, and they seldom have what I want. Like Blue Columbines. So I am trying to start my own from seeds.

    I looked for Blue Columbines last year too. Didn't find any!

    Silver Star Vinery is one of my favorites. I miss Chalk Hill as a source. Some varieties do better in partial shade than others (my Pink Fantasy blooms very, very well in ps). My Jackmanni is in full sun so I don't know how it is for ps, but it is on this list for clematis that can handle less light.

    I have blue columbines. Would be happy to send seeds when they are ready. I seem to have taken multiple photos of every plant in my yard but the columbines. They are dark blue with a touch of purple and they hold their blooms up about two feet or more. I've sent seeds to others and they bloom true.
