I've grown my first clematis from seed...I gathered the seed in march
this year...I placed them, fluffy bits and all, on top of a multi
purpose compost, and watered with rainwater..then in a propagator until
the seedlings emerged..kept them on the windowsill till they had two
pairs of true leaves, then potted them up......

Lovely! Which species, do you know?
I have tried Clematis alpina from seed a couple of times and failed, but
would like to propagate it as it's so difficult to establish in my
garden because of the slugs. I could try cuttings, but I'm even worse at
those than I am at seed.

Bill macenzie is easy from seeds as is Tangutica. I've done several but
given them away as I prefer the little macropetla and Viticella types.
