re: Clemantis from seed

I am glad someone else finally asked a question about Clemantis.  I don't 
know the answer to your question about variations but I would like to know 
more about starting them from seed.  I gathered many seeds (at least I 
thought they were seeds) from my existing plants last year and tried to get 
them to grow, with absolutely no success!  I don't know, maybe I have 
hybrids. Does anyone know any secrets about Clemantis?  I can't even tell 
good seeds from bad.  Some seem to swell on the plant, while others don't.  
I've planted both and, NOTHING!  I am now trying it from cuttings but that 
has a low success rate.  I know sometimes it works because last year one of 
the dogs caught his leash on the base of the plant and snapped it right 
off.  I cut it into foot long pieces and stuck them in soil.  ONE rooted.
I really want to grow them from seed though, just because it is more fun.

Hi all--

I have some seedlings of C. tangutica which are doing fairly well. I was
told by someone that this species is extremely variable from seed. Has
anyone here grown it from seed, and if so, what sort of "variations" could
I expect to see?

This list is great!
