Clematis integrifolia

Genus Clematis

This source reports two treatments. Both are shown.

Protocol 1

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Low Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around March 22, 2027 for a May 3 last frost.

  1. Sow and cover

    Temperature: 70°F 21°C Light: dark

No stated waiting before sowing. Then 14 days to germinate.

87% germination in 14 days.

Clematis (Ranunculaceae). Light and/or GA-3 are required for the germination of some species. Although a number of species germ. significantly in the dark, light and GA-3 needs to be tried on all species. Multicycle patterns were common and some species germ. largely at 40. The seeds of all species are designed to be dispersed by wind so that it was presumed that DS would be tolerated. This was supported by the data for seeds DS 6 m, however seeds of C. integrifolia germ. 30% in the 6th w in either 70D or 70L. Removal of the seed coat had no effect. A preliminary 3 m at 40 germ. faster (3rd w at 70), but the percentage was still 30%. C; ladakhiana germ. 70D(87% in 2nd w) and 40(25% in 10-12w)-70(60% in 2 d). Germination was so rapid in 70D that it is doubtful that light or GA-3 would have any effect.

Protocol 2

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Moderate Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around October 5, 2026 for a May 3 last frost.

    25 germinated in this phase.

  2. Warm moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

about 6 months from start to sowing. Then 2 days to germinate.
