This webinar, presented by the International Clematis Society is open to the public. Mike Miller will discuss the following:

• how to identify viable clematis seed;

• different methods of sowing the seed (peeling vs. not peeling, cold stratification requirements, etc.);

• growing on the germinated seed to maturity;

• results from species seed vs. hybrids; and

• the International Clematis Society’s Seed Exchange Program.

This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on 'Getting Clematis to Rebloom’, featuring Deborah Hardwick, Fiona Woolfenden and own very own Susan Toler.

This event begins with a walk-about, celebrating the late and reblooming elder statesmen clematis in the garden. But this time we will walk slowly and develop an autumn/winter “to-do” list. Attendees will join in an assessment of the year’s successes, failures, what to correct, what to divide or transplant (and when), what to prune immediately and what should wait, and to think about container placement. As RCG tasks are evaluated, this is a chance for members to ponder what needs doing in their own gardens and make a schedule of their own.

Members may bring one guest at a cost of $5. This fee will be deducted from the guest's membership should they join at the event.
