Clematis (Clematis Tangutica Aztek) - Clematis flower seeds produce a wonderful, vining flower that is a long lived perennial, normally living at least 25 years. The top of the vine should be exposed to full sunlight with the roots shaded by either a ground cover or a mulch such as bark dust. It is tolerant of poor soil but needs to be well watered, and will flower within 3 - 4 months of planting. The 3 inch yellow blooms also produce feathery silver seed heads. It is great for trellises and arbors, and also does well in containers as an annual.
Clematis flower seed takes about 21 - 28 days to germinate. You can sow the flower seeds in trays indoors and transplant the seedlings after frost season, or sow the flower seeds directly outside after danger of frost has passed. Before sowing Clematis flower seed, refrigerate the seed for 2 - 3 weeks. The cold helps to break the dormancy.
