    Did the seed come from a reputable supplier?
    When I've seen clematis seed it is a small seed with a long fluffy tail.

    I have some Clematis alpina aka Austrian clematis ... I can't see anything I recognise there.   

    Edited to add:  well there are some weedlings there that I recognise, but no clematis.

    nothing I see there looks like anything other than weeds.

    Agree, can only see a selection of weed seedlings there.  Did you use garden soil?

    Some of them (the ones with the scalloped edges) look a lot like agastache seedlings, going from memory because it was last year when I grew them (I think, or maybe the year before). @Lyn sent me the seeds, so maybe she can have a look. My memory might be playing tricks. And other things could look much the same at the seedling stage, but I'd put money on them not being clematis.

    The only one that looks different to the others is this one ☝️

    Still not a clematis.
