I rec'd some of this seed in a trade and would like to know any special handling instructions on getting this to germinate. Looks like such a beautiful flower!! Thanks so much for your time!!

RE: Duchess of Edinburgh Seed

Brian Collingwood has an excellent site that discusses growing clematis from seed in detail.....it is pretty easy to do and there are several forum regulars that produce quantities of seed-grown clems each year. Just so you are aware, seeds from named cultivars of hybrid clematis - like the Duchess of Edinburg - do not necessarily germinate true to the parent plant and therefore cannot be called by that cultivar name. That can only be done through asexual propagation - cuttings, layering or division. But you can certainly grow some stunning vines by this method.

Here is a link that might be useful: clematis from seed
