I had success this year in starting new vines from cuttings.

I followed the instructions at: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~JN7H-OONM/contents/cuttings_e.html

I've been advised here to keep them in my small pot till well rooted and then transplant in a gallon size container in the garden. When it is again well rooted, then I should be able to remove the pot and transplant to its permanent spot.

I'm hoping for success but so far so good! Good luck.

thanks for the post I'll try it hopefully it will work ohhh and does anyone know if the seeds will still ripen or are they junk?

Thanks for the help Cc_Coraline

I had the opportunity to visit Garden Crossing in Michigan. They have more than 100 different clematis in stock. The prices were great and even better on there sale table.

The original plant that you broke the vine from will be just fine. Breaking off the vine doesn't harm it at all. Jackmanni is one that you should hard prune every year in the first place.

Just keep the rootball well watered and it will sprout again.

It is not easy to root Clematis cuttings and hybrids don't come true from seed.

Dead link in soinspired's 10 year old post, below. :-( Too bad! Anybody got an update for this procedure?

Just Google 'clematis from cuttings'.
