Clematis. Plant out yet?

B3B3 Posts: 27,505
This is a Star of India. It was a few inches  high when I  got it in lidl  a few months ago .I've  repotted  it.
Should I  keep it in the  pot for this year or plant it out?

In London. Keen but lazy.

    I had one half the size of that, bought in a sale last autumn I planted it a fortnight ago it’s doing really well.

    It should be fine where you are @B3
    It's only advisable to wait if your ground's waterlogged or frozen - otherwise, anything hardy, that size, in a pot can be planted at any time of year.  

    Here, I'd have potted that into a slightly smaller pot, and waited till later in the year.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    She's in the ground. (How come some plants seem to be male or female? I'm not talking botanically) 
    Grubbing about in the back of the border trying not to trample stuff is not something I want to do again for a while😕

    The white asparagus we got in at the shop is definitely male (if you know what I mean :wink:)
    I'd've left it a while before planting but only because at that size it's considered fair game by the slugs in our garden!

    I think I get the idea @mikeymustard 😉

    I have a  cirrhosa from this time last year that I haven't put in yet. Lol. It's doing remarkably well in the same post I bought it in. Poor thing.
