looking for locally

19 years ago

there is a post below where local nurseries are discussed and while reading and posting I thought I'd like to see a post where people can look for hard to find plants.

I'm looking for: Clematis Triternata 'Rubromarginata'

A poster last year told me of a nursery east of Winsor where she got hers, but with a newborn last year I didn't get a chance to get over there, and sadly she never gave me the name of the nursery (or maybe I lost it).

I'l also like to find another Clematis Florida 'Sieboldii'

Anyone know where to find them locally, or are you also looking for something?

Unfortunately, you haven't provided sufficient information - as to where you live, etc. - so I went and did a search on Google.com for both of the Clematis you wanted. The better sources I found are listed below. I haven't ordered from anyone of them, but I do receive their catalogs and have heard that they are quite reliable. Unfortunately, "Song Sparrow Nursery" has sold out of one of the varieties that you listed, but they are an excellent source - as are the others - and you might wish to obtain their catalogs and search their offerings online as well.

Hope this is useful.

Chills, that was me that you are referring to. I don't remember if I gave you the name of the nursery, but it is :
Green Valley Garden Centre
519-326-2341
Ruthven, ON
I don't know if they have the proper certification for you to bring plants back to the US. You should check with them first.

patsylr1 thank you. You mentioned that they didn't have the Rubromarginata in their main selection, that you had to request it and have them find it. Could you elaborate more (what did you ask for and whereabouts did they find it)?

I's sorry, had a tired moment there. I'm northeast of Detroit in St. Clair Shores.

Chills, have a look first at whatever clematis they already have out - it may be there. If not, speak to the older lady (she's owner's wife) and tell her you want the really big clematis that has the very tiny flowers. I think that's how I described it. I did tell her the name so maybe that will work this time. Good luck! This nursery specializes in trees and shrubs.
