Can clematis vines be grown from cuttings or are they grown from seed?
I have just always bought mine fairly inexpensively from walmart. They are hardy, and come back on what looks like dead plant material after even a harsh winter. They are beautiful plants! I wouldn't be surprised if they grew from a cutting, near a "nodule" or whatever they are called. If you did then, and then dipped it in a rooting hormone especially, then it may work. Hope you get your answers.
Reply:right now I have one growing roots in a cup of water by my kitchen window, so you can just put a few good cuttings in water to start them , make sure you change the water often and when roots start to grow , plant and your on your way! best wishes!
Reply:Experiment. Put some cuttings in clear glass of water. Use Rootone on some and plant in potting soil (light weight of course.)
