clematis 'pixie'

Question from Valerie Cansler

I live in WA State and just got this plant at a flower & garden show in Feb. When can I plant it outside? It has snowed off and on and is now raining. May still get snow. It is now March! This plant blooms in March. When can I plant it? Thanks for your help. Valerie

    I live in Oregon, I wonder if this is a new cultivar of Clematis armandii, which blooms about show time, or check C. cirrhosa. You can plant anytime after danger of frost is done, because a lot of times these plants are forced to bloom early and might die if planted out. When you plant a clematis, plant them 4" deeper, so at least two leaf buds are covered by soil, this lets them survive the dreaded clematis wilt.
