A friend has got her clematis cuttings (several varieties) to root in water. She tells me now is a good time. I'll take her advice and do it today. The worst that could happen is no roots, I suppose!
I'm trying now with clematis cuttings in water. Been in a week, no signs as yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Clematis Josephine. I'd love 2 more. But I'm not sure if I've chosen the right part of the plant. What is the best way to take a clematis cutting please?
For me, Erica, it has always been trial-and-error! Never give up! If someone else has succeeded I will too.... eventually. However, I do believe green tips (somewhat sturdy though) root better than older bits. Good luck!
Dont worry if you can’t find a non flowering shoot, works just as well if you pick the flowers off. My Salvias and Veronicas flower on every shoot, it works.
