QuestionHow long should I wait to repot clematis plants that I started from seed?Becky HyattCommunity AnswerI started mine indoors in a medium-sized pot. (I chose a pot that would allow me to stick both hands into the pot as to pick up all of the roots.) After it sprouted, I put the pot outside in a shady area for about 3 weeks, then transplanted into the ground. I did this 2 years ago, and my clematis has produced ever since. To my surprise, it is beautiful and full.

QuestionDo clematis sprout new plants near the original plant?Community AnswerYes, and sometimes feet away. The root will run and a new plant will grow from the root.

QuestionIf I leave the roots of a clematis plant in the ground, will a new plant grow there?Community AnswerI cut mine back every year to the ground and it always comes back. I'm in Colorado with hardiness zones of 5a, 5b and 6a.
