Summer Shipping Information
Summer and Fall Shipping: As the climate continues to change, we are adjusting our shipping schedule. Weather permitting, we will ship through June and July and again in September, although hot weather may cause us to alter our plans on a week-by-week basis. We will not ship plants if the high temperatures are much above 80 degrees, either here in Maine or at their final destination. Rest assured, we will notify you if we are unable to ship plants; let's all keep the lines of communication open!

Super Early and Super Easy!
These clematis are GREAT choices for beginners:
They start the clematis season with very early, usually when the lilacs flower.
They have bell shaped, nodding flowers, followed by handsome seed heads.
All are very winter hardy - our customers in Alaska love them!
We've never (knock on wood!) had diseases on these varieties.
Because they are so cold tolerant, they may not thrive in hot climates.

These plants are winter hardy and disease resistant. The flowers are flat

difference in size by making lots of blooms!

Miscellaneous Clematis! - Easy

Some are species clematis - the "wild" forms of clematis as they are found in nature.
They appreciate plenty of sun and well drained soil.
Grow one or more of these rare beauties
and you'll really have a "Horse of a Different Color" in your garden!
Full Prune in late winter or early spring.

Early Bloomers, Challenging
These are the plants that most people think of when we say, "Clematis".
They bloom in late May or early June and have large, flat flowers.
Some varieties will repeat bloom in late summer.
These varieties are slow to mature, less robust than other types
and sometimes can be a pain in the neck. If you've never grown clematis,
we recommend you start with plants from another section.
Many authorities recommend treating these varteties as "moderate prune" clematis.
However, we respectfully disagree: Please see our Pruning Primer
for more information.
