  Reply | Contact I did a search for clematis patens as I have never heard of this before and I get Clematis "The President "as clematis patens? You can buy this as a plant, I have it. But  not sure about the seeds though. Here is something else...I have just found! Very confusing ! Clematis patens 'Manshuu Ki'. clematis (group 2) (syn. Wada's Primrose). available within 2 weeks size: 2lt pot (60cm cane) £8.99 ... ALSO Add this plant to your garden (login or register) Botanical Name: Clematis patens 'Manshuu Ki' Genus: Clematis Variety or Cultivar: 'Manshuu Ki' ~ 'Manshuu Ki' is a climbing perennial with fragrant, pale primrose-yellow flowers with yellow centres in early summer.

  Reply | Contact Thankyou!!.....I too have 'the president'...and yes! in my searches too it kept coming up as Clematis patens.......The 'Manshuu Ki does look quite promising though ,as it is a selection from species patens,so if i have no luck in tracking down any seeds i shall just have to plumb for buying this plant...thankyou for taking the time and trouble to reply,i do appreciate it......jamie Be yourself....Because everybody else is taken.

  Reply | Contact Well it seems as though you know exactly what you are doing my friend, but as you already know, the species seed are like hens teeth,to find. Try and get yourself well connected if you are serious about breeding there are some very knowledgeable clematarians in the UK who have experience in what you are wanting to do, you may have to venture further afield for species seeds. digger
