Description

The listing, Nellie Moser Clematis 25 seeds FREE shipping has ended.

'Nellie Moser' is easy to grow, producing large, flat flowers 6 to 8 inches in diameter with distinctive, gleaming lilac bars on each petal. This clematis blooms from May to late June, with a second, less profuse bloom in mid-August. Planted in a shady spot, the cheery pink-and-mauve-striped blossoms last for weeks instead of days.

Noteworthy characteristics: Will grow mostly anywhere with support.

Care: Grow in fertile, well-drained, soil with abundant organic matter. Thrives in a sunny spot but will still bear colorful flowers and keep their delicate color longer in the shade. When growing it against a shady, north-facing wall or fence, paint the surface a light color to reflect sunlight back to the plant. Prune only if needed, as it blooms on the previous year's canes. Plant with the top of the root ball 3 to 5 inches below the surface and provide strong support.

Photos number 2 and 3 are my Nellies growing together with H.F. Young, a nice pink and blue combination!

Questions & Comments

Gorgeous! I've grown Clematis from seed, and thank you for providing the site for whomever wins the auction. They do take special care to start and it is nice to see a fellow gardener making sure that the person who gets the seeds understands how to grow them properly! I would like to add one thing that the site did not, that a better way to sterilize your soil is to put it in a baking dish, wet it, and turn the heat up to 500 for at least 30 minutes to kill all fungus, bacteria, and random mold or seeds that might be in the soil. Even new, bagged soil can sometimes have fungus or molds, if it is breaking down from composted soil, and I NEVER take a chance with delicate seeds like Clematis. YOURS are so beautiful, I am fanning and bidding! But if I don't win them, I wanted to pass on these tips so whoever is lucky enough to get them will have gorgeous plants, just like yours!
