Thanks for a simple and clear video. I have one small vine that surprised me last year and gave me 1 flower then. This year so far it has blessed me with 4 beautiful flowers. I love this plant and I thank you for showing how to propagate new ones. 🦋
Found my clematis on a discounted end season rack two years ago. Love plants that challenge me to revive. My clematis I saved one died two going so strong. My first time every planting just followed RU-vid instructions and have beautiful plants.Thanks for the tips to making more clematis. Truly my favorite plant. Thanks Again Happy Growing!!💐💐🪴🪴
Happy gardening to you too! My husband is the patron saint of lost plant causes; he has brought some totally back to life ☺️🌿. So, I understand that you are attracted to the challenge. I'm glad you found the video useful! All the best with your propagation 🌺
Thank you, ma’am. 3 years ago I think a bird brought me a magenta clematis plant via it’s droppings because one day I spotted a glorious magenta flower and then learned that it was clematis. I love this plant, the blooms are magnificent and it’s neat the way it climbs. I’m so thankful God made it possible to make cuttings from it. This should be great, I hope to try now.
Oh wow! I wish you all the best! It sounds like a very special plant, in multiple ways. Plan for 75% of the rootings not making it. I think my success rate from the batch in the video was 9 out of 32. So plant accordingly. Keep me posted.
Thank you for the detailed instructions! I, accidentally, clipped off a string of my plant, with the help of your video, I’m hopping to get at least one little one rooting.
I You are quite welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Remember, the success rate is about 30%, so start more than you want. I wish you all the best! 🌱
I bought a dark purple clematis on discount last year ($3.00) and it surprised my with beautiful blooms this spring and again now in October (Bakersfield, CA). It is nice to know I can propagate it.
hi.. can you tell me where I can get clematis seeds? I don't trust very much in websites.. but if you have some webs in mind thats ok. PD.- I'm from Mexico
Using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for cleaning the pots has the advantage that it also works on potential mould, and it's completely biodegradable (2x H2O and O2 = water and oxygen). Thank you for great videos!
Sorry, I didn’t see your comment until now! Thank you for that. Great tip! I’ve always hesitated using bleach because of what it can do to your clothes if it splatters. Thank you for watching and commenting. Happy holidays!
I purchased a clematis root from Aldi and that thing is so resilient in my zone 9. I did bury it deep and added some mulch. I’ve gotten a few small purple blooms. Great info to make more!
I have never cut my clematis's back. They are HUGE! And the bloom like crazy. They're done now, except for the double bloomed Clematis. It's still Flowering like crazy. I am in Western NC.
Greetings to western North Carolina! With your climate, I’m not surprised that your clematis grow huge. I think that one of the main reasons to cut clematis is to keep bloom closer to the ground, as well as keep the clematis behaved and fitting to the trellis.
We ran twine up for the top of the trellis. The blooms tend to stay near the bottom portion of the Clematis plant. I've had the biggest Clematis for about 30 years. I've had the double bloomed for about 10 years. Plenty of sunshine through the early part of the day, and shaded after. Well mulched. Love them.
Thank you! I was filling a new flowerbed i built last fall with plants and was planning to buy more but due to the pandemic all the garden centers are closed. Now i can clone clematis from my front garden and bring them into the backyard as well!
You are quite welcome! I'm glad you found the video useful. Please be aware that the clematis take a while to root and get strong. Good luck and all the best!
Thank you. I love clematis, I own only one and it’s like yours in color I guess. It has shown to be surprisingly strong for it remained alive in a regular size pot with hardly any care as I was absent from this home for years. Now I I live here and is doing well. It’s a great video.
Sooo glad this showed up. I'm moving from one state to another the Clematis I have in ground are 6 years old and didn't want to dig them up to take with me..this video is a great way for me to take my Clematis with me Thank You💖🌺
Thank you so much! I learned something new. Have always wanted to thicken my thinned out Jack, believing I'll just buy another to grow along side the original. Now, I can plant in the grown cuttings for a fuller plant. Wonderful idea.
Thank you for this very clear and well illustrated video. Last spring I bought a small Clematis 'Henryi' plant with beautiful white blooms. I wasn't sure it would survive this winter since I grow in pots in zone 5a and have to put my perennials in our insulated garage (with mixed results). But miraculously it has some small buds this spring, so I will definitely use your propagating tips this year to grow more, as it seems like a hardy variety. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent video with us!
I love hearing people's stories. When you have a good plant variety and good plant stock, this is a good propagation technique. I with you all the best! They will not all succeed, so plant more than you want. My success rate has been between 25% and 30%.
Thank you for your encouragement and letting me know of your success rate with this technique. I definitely will plant extra. Thank you again for your help and sharing!
Great informative video. The soil needle you have to make the holes is called a Dibber but you refer to it as a Dibble which made me smile here in England. Not a criticism at all just wanted to make you aware. Once again great video and we will try replanting our Clematis cuttings. Stay safe and well. 🙂
🙂 . I've never seen a dibber here in the US, but treasure it as a souvenir from my trip to England. I appreciate the correction! Glad you enjoyed the video and all the best with your clematis cuttings!
My purple clematis is now opening, going into July 2022. It is mixed in with a one time a year bloomer pink one. I tell my family, going to Lowe's to buy some more dead plants, plant, water and loving care they spring right back. Where you were setting looks so beautiful and peaceful :)
Thank you! I love the look of mixing climbers, and colors, up a trellis. This year I’ve tried both white Thunbergia and Cathedral Bells on the same trellis. I’m afraid the Thunbergia might bully out the Cathedral Bells, but we’ll see. Mixing colors of the same plant is more reliable. Have a great summer!
I did not believe it was possible to do this,but last autumni snippedcuttings growing over car park wall. Could not believe my eyes when they started growing. 1 in flower now one inch Montana which is very vigorous, the other is a small yellow autumn/ winter flowering type , they kept alive over winter. From Scotland. Before this have purchased clematis plants which died.
Hello RoseAnn! It sounds like you are a snowbird. How fun to garden in two such different zones. Other than Calla Lilies, I know very little of tropicals. Enjoy!
I’m working with autumn clematis. I’ve tried seeds, two years that failed. I cut some from.a neighbor who was going to tear it down. First time I had a complete failure. I succeeded in planting a weed of some kind. Today I tried to more cuttings. I didn’t get any old wood. I hope it works this time. Thanks for putting up this video.
im pretty new to gardening snd flowers if grown and watered quite a few things I thought were flowers that turned out to ve weeds lol. but getting better at being avle to tell which are good and not now
Hi, this batch is already given away or planted in our back yard by our garden shed. I had about 8 or 9 cuttings survive. Here's a link to a video with some of the grown-up cuttings. Jackmanii comes in at 7:03. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmz5OqGM0DQ.html
Never thought of taking cuttings from my clematis. I'll have to try this. I don't have a grow light. Looks like I need to invest on one later this year. Thanks for the video. :)
Halo, I just did 2 rounds of clematis propagating in the summer. All not successful. They were all done indoor (it was too hot outdoor), similar to your method showed but with a plastic dome cover with opening. Second round I added heat pad. Both not successful. That’s a wonderful video you showed. I am going to try using grow light.
I am so sorry to hear about your experience with Clematis. I'm sure the grow lights will help. But, be sure to give them less light if the leaves start showing brown patches. Getting the light right is important, but especially with Clematis. All the best!
It’s different all over the US, even within a single city there can be many accents and mispronunciations. Two “o”s = oooh/ō, the long “o” sound. Roots, roof, boots, etc., but we hear a lot of “rutz”, “ruff”, “butz”, though somehow people seem to manage the word “boots” better than the roots and roof. Creek is another ear-scraper. Two “e”s = the long vowel sound, but a lot of people in small towns say “crick”. Small-town folks (or uneducated city folks) leave the “t”s out of nearly everything as well... kitten, curtain, winter, and mountain all become ki’-enn, or ki’-unn; cur’-unn: win’-er; and mou’-unn or moww’-unn (rhymes with the word “wow”). And yes, they will look at you as though YOU are the one mispronouncing the words, if you include the vowels and consonants, and pronounce them all correctly. Or they conclude that you are “uppity”. They just about fall off their chair if they hear the letter “T” enunciated. You just might be able to put them into a state of shock if you said “kittens with mittens in the mountains in the wintertime”...
Jessica John, Yes, and despite all the variations, we can all still understand each other pretty well. From across the pond wven with their Cockney, Geordie, etc. accents, to the US with their endless regional accents and Brooklyn, Jersey, Creole, and all of them in between, it all just helps us better understand foreign speakers for whom English is a 2nd, 10th, or 20th language. I like all the variations, and when Americans get a bit too snobby about a foreign accent or a little broken English, I simply ask them how well they speak their chosen second or third language,; or, as they’re rudely pretending not to understand a foreign visitor who is speaking perfectly easy-to-understand English, I ask them how well they spoke Russian when they went to Moscow, or French when they went to Paris last year. Shuts them right up. We all know the singular answer to all those questions. :)
Jessica John i see pronunciation of different word like an accent. Like Roof and Ruff (for the top of a house). It’s how a person says it identifies where they are from.
This is definitely good to know. I have a Lady Kyoko in bloom right now and she is beautiful! Thank you for all your information. I will have to give it a go here in Texas.
Good question, I’ve never tried it, because the stems of the clematis aren’t just right; I like them to be semi-green/semi woody. If you have a spring blooming variety, which tends to have woody stems, I’d give it a try. good luck! Do remember, that the success rate is about 25 to 30% for me. So plant more than you need.
Hi. Great video. I live in SE Minnesota so have similar weather as you obviously. Maybe I missed it, but when do you plant your new plants? Do you keep them inside over winter or plant them in late fall? Thanks a lot.
Hi Minnesota neighbor! I overwinter the cuttings indoors under grow lights over the winter. It gives me something to nurture before I get going with seedlings. If they were ready (roots visible on the bottom of the pot), I'd rather plant them outdoors though.
I never knew you could do this! I’m just wondering how long it takes for the plants to be big and strong enough to plant in the actual garden? I see that you’re doing this in September? When would they go into the ground? Thank you for the video. 😊
Hi! I over-winter them indoors and plant in the spring. I feature one of my root cuttings in the following video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mb2FQaQ1iLk.html This clematis in the video took about two years to grow to five feet tall. I used two plants for the trellis in the video. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Glad I could introduce you to something new in gardening! Flowering perennials differ with respect to the best way to propagate them. The easiest way to propagate many perennials for the residential gardener is to divide plants. Clematis is difficult to divide, being that it is a vine. Therefore, taking cuttings is a good option. That said, nurseries often take cuttings to propagate plants.
@@RosannesGarden hi! They turned out great thanks. Almost all kept their moisture and grew healthy roots! Excited to get back in the garden this year. Thanks for your reply
Love this video! I assume once they are well rooted after 10-12 weeks you just continue to winter them over under the grow lights until safe to plant in spring? Thanks!
Thank you! How was your success rate on this tray? Are they in the ground and thriving now? Did you keep these inside under grow lights like this all winter and then plant them in the ground the following spring? I'm wondering if I could put some in the ground now?? I have a good sized deep purple clematis that I'd love to spread around the yard. I LOVE THEM!!!!
Greetings fellow clematis lover! It’s been a few years now, and I believe I had about 10 healthy plants come from that tray. I planted three of them to make a nice large clematis cluster in the garden. It is featured in my vines and climber video. I think it’s #1. After I took the cuttings, which I did at the end of summer, I put them under grow lights for winter. It might seem like a lot of work, but I love some gardening to do during the winter months and enjoy nurturing the little guys. It is a wonderful way to clone a really good plant. I wish you all the best! You could certainly try cuttings now and planting them - that’s a fun thing about gardening - trying new things and seeing if they work. 🌿🌞🌹
This is very clear and helpful. Thank you. I had to pull out an entire clematis that was overtaking a rose of Sharon. I couldn't get the entire length of the roots, but a good deal of the root clump is still together. Could I cut off the top of the plant and regrow it in potting soil? Thanks again
Hi Laura. I'm glad you found the video helpful! If I were you, I would most certainly try to replant your clematis. They are pretty tough and it probably will do just fine. As you say, cut off the top of the plant so the roots don't try to support all the green. Potting soil should also help. Good luck! 🌿
What kind of vine is that on the other side of your door over the hydrangea? Thanks for sharing the tip to plant the something at the base to shade the roots. I would have never thought of that!
Hi, the vine is a cypress vine. It's really quite lovely. Here's a link to a little blog I did on it. rosannesgarden.com/?s=cypress+vine Glad you liked the tip!
Hi, I leave them under a grow light until I see roots coming out of the bottom or they start pushing out new leaves. In our climate, there is not enough time for them to root before winter sets in. In other climates (see other comments), they can be left outdoors. Regardless, they need attention and TLC.

No problem getting them to root, form good root systems, but how the hell to get them over the Winter without them "damping off"? Do hundreds of cuttings on misting bed, but Clematis are a horror at the post rooting phase. Pot them on and keep them moist but definitely not wet, but they mostly end up dead by Springtime.
You sound very experienced. My issues have been more with the rooting. Perhaps it has to do with the stems used for cutting? I use stems on the woodier side - slower to root, but tougher when they do. Just a thought. Or, could it be that Jackmanii is stronger? Thanks for the comment.
I’m wondering…after they root? Do you plant them outside? Or keep them indoor through the winter? I live in MN zone 4 also and garden much like you. Taking many cuttings, and saving seeds. But I have never tried clematis cuttings. Thank you for sharing your good advise 😉
Hi neighbor! I do keep them indoors all winter long. I have grow lights and actually enjoy the winter "hobby" of nurturing for them. Glad you found the video helpful! 🌺
I just found your video and plan to try this with my Huldine clematis in the fall (zone 5b) - like you I enjoy gardening under my lights in the winter as well. What rooting powder do you recommend?
Hi, I'm so pleased that you are trying this with your Huldine. They are so gorgeous! As to your question, I just use a general blend that I bought at my local nursery. I don't think they had choices. I've had it for years. Good luck with your Huldine!
What a lovely lady. Loved your easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much. I've just planted Nelly Moser, Warsawski Nike and Hagley Hybrid and would love to take cutting when the time comes. I'm in Ireland and wondered if taking cuttings is done at the same time of year as the USA, can you advise please. Again, thank you so much ☘☘
Greetings to Ireland! I'm so pleased you found the video helpful. I would say that you could take cuttings as soon as some of the stems begin to harden and get somewhat "woody". I have found they have the greatest likelihood of success. So, not being that familiar with your growing season, I would imagine you could do that in the July/August timeframe. My Jackmanii are almost at that point now. Your selection of Clematis sound lovely! 🌺🌿🌺
This was very informative and I'd like to try it. If you start the cuttings in the fall, what do you do with them after they root? Can you plant them outdoors before winter ? I live in Quebec where winters are harsh.
Great. I wish you all the best on it . I keep the cuttings under grow lights all winter and plant them in early spring. It is work, and a little nerve-wracking going on winter vacations, but well worth it.
Rosanne is the expert But ! here in England I bought a heated propagator $16 US and I can leave my plants , (I go to Morocco, like you go to Florida)! all winter. The humidity stays inside and by Spring they have rooted and starting to grow !
I had 2 clematis and lost both of them I think to rabbits, but my mom has some and I think I will see if we can try this out. They are a beautiful vine.
😆 OMG, I loved Top Cat!! Would never have remembered Officer Dibble. A couple of others have told me about the dibber too. Some online sites and catalogs still call it a dibble. Thanks for commenting. You made my day.
