Any one grow clematis from seed? I heard that the seed won't grow because its sterile.

Please let me know if you tried and if you got a plant with flowers.

I haven't tried yet, but saved seed and am going to try in the spring.

I know it can be done, my youngest sister has clematis in her yard and every year she has to pull seedling that have sprouted all over her yard.She is in Zone 5. Indiana.

Hello,

I have grown plenty of the autumn clematis from seeds. However, I haven't tried to grow any of the other types of clematis that I have. I will have to check my clematis, and see if there is still any seed pods left . Will try to remember to plant some in the spring.

We also live in zone 5 , in Indiana .

I tried...got nothing...but I"m told that it can take a couple years for the seed to germinate and grow. I'm not sure though.

I researched planting clematis from seed. It not only takes a long time to germinate, but also must have "cold" treatment as well. You can do this in the frige or plant outside. I planted outside. We'll see what happens. I think I'll try some inside as well.
