Often even accomplished gardeners are not aware that not all clematis climb. The most noteworthy of these non-climbing herbaceous perennials is Clematis integrifolia. It was one of the first species to be used in European clematis breeding (often with Clematis viticella), and it consorts well with the oriental large-flowered species in interesting and beautiful ways. This presentation will examine this history of this hardiest of species, how to use it in gardens, and the amazing hybrids and selections available today.

Donating plants:  please bring your plants to TBG between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on September 10.

Plants must be clearly labelled. Additional information written on the back of the label helps the buyers! We would appreciate a recommended selling price to be included on each label. (All proceeds go to ORG&HPS)

Guidelines for pricing plant sale donations:

If the plant is something not commonly found in nurseries or stores, price starting at $5; higher if it's a good size plant or division. If it's a young plant that is still quite small, perhaps $3.

Anything left at the end of the sale will go half-price. 

All plants not bought must be taken home by the donor. 

ORG&HPS policy on Jumping Worms:

At this time, no special treatment to eliminate Jumping Worms and their eggs is required before plants are offered for sale at ORG&HPS meetings. 

Read Barbara Peat's excellent article on Jumping Worms.

Come, enjoy our first member/vendor sale in years!
