Sara, here is a sprouting Clematis I found in Diamond Nursery at Karsaz road, price is Rs.1500/-, one plant was blooming too!! its name is "Dr. Rupel"

Not again ... ahh ... not again. I sold these for rs 500/- hahahah...

lolz... the person over there told me to keep its roots cool by mulching, I wouldn't have posted it but the new sprout looked promising to me, hope it does well at your place..

I kept 3 with me , of one is Floria Sieboldii which was flowering the time khabbab visited.

I keep its roots well shaded by usin g a ground cover.Dnt know the name ... lanthra perhaps it is called.

@ Adnan: Now on I will post the prices directly to the concerned person so as to minimize you agony.....

Alternanthera species are good ground covers..

@ Sara

I'd still recommend you to wait atleast a month because clematis are subject to die in June/July.

im waiting i went saw it gave it some loving and said my good byes ! then i went to the other shop sailors nursery and bought a hoya... really cute flowers on this one !! i love it !! , a venus fly trap , a pitcher plant and some pretty flowers !! i guess now i wont have to wait another 18 months for those seeds of mine to become big and beautiful !! ( i had bought seeds for carnivore plants from triffidnurseries.co.uk earlier this year ! )

so next on my list is clematis after you tell me how yours survives through the summers and the wistera after it blooms in winters and the daylilies when they are happier and yes im not mentioning anything about my 3 page list plant list with pictures !!

A wise decision taken.Dr Ruppel bears 5-6 inch flowers and if clematis is younger it'll bear 2-3 inch flowers.What was the size of flower you saw there?I'll share my experience if my clematis does survive this summer.Still alive.

Hoya...I'd ask Izhar to send me a couple.Is your hoya fragrant?

Growing clematis is a complete science.Clematis are divided in three pruning groups so you have to find out the clematis you are growing belongs to group 1, 2 or 3.If pruning is not carried in the way it is required, clematis won't yield good results.
