When should I expect to see signs of life in my new Clematis?

Hi all

Bought a couple of 7cm potted Clematis florida 'Taiga' from Thompson Morgan a while back (can't post a link yet it seems). So far, no sign of life from the potted "sticks" whereas my other garden planted Clematis have buds - whats the latest that I should see something from my new one's to prove they are alive still!

Thanks

 

Are they in the garden?
Those 7 cm plugs are best potted up first.
A tad early for them to show signs of growth......Check again in April Symbioss so patience for now.
(Mind you, I guess we are all over keen to see those new shoots )

 

Thanks Verdun, yep been potted up and yea, guess I'm being over eager lol

Now that the beast from the east has gone, lets hope for some sunnier, warmer days!

 

Could be 11 or maybe 12 degrees tomorrow so, yes, sunnier warmer days ahead for plants and us

Hi @symbioss and to GC if you go and post in this link here New Members Introduction the rest of the GC members can give you some likes on your intro messages and that will help and enable you to post the links you want to post - sadly not all members like the other members posts so that delays you having full forum privileges- Hope that helps and by the way i did google your BEEutiful Clematis its a new one on me and very tempting Hope you dont mind that i also posted the link for other GC folk to see what your Clematis looks like

 

Hi @symbioss and welcome. This is a plant that I have enquired about recently. It would be interesting to see how yours turns out. I am not ready to plant up just yet so I am keeping my options open. Any photos you care to share would be appreciated. I am slightly concerned that it might not grow big enough to cover my fence. Where/how are you growing yours?

Hi @symbioss,

How To Grow Clematis

 

Active growth on this clematis won't begin until Spring is here (properly here, I mean ).
It is a variety that you would normally cut down to just above grown level at this time of year before it begins its Spring growth.

Don't give up hope just yet

 

I have various clematis some are showing signs of growing and some are laid dormant so i guess it would depend on what type you have,

If my memory serves me well from last year one type was a few months later.

 

@martin-f mines lying dormant at the moment mate but I do know what I have have ...as I kept the labels
