I collected a clematis seed head last September - don't know what sort, maybe a spring flowering species. Time will tell. I potted up 12 seedlings and one has died; the remaining eleven vary in height and vigour from a single compact plant 4" tall, to a lanky 18" climber with 5 good stems. Same treatment for all of them. (They also vary in leaf colour and shape.) So I'm not surprised your two group 3s are growing at different rates, @KT53.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Sorry @KT53 but Huldine is a whopper that easily does 6m once established. http://clematisontheweb.org/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=20 It's a beauty tho with lovely pale lilac/mauve bars on the tepal reverse. I had it in my last garden and have just planted another here to cover a wall.
Thanks Obelixx. That's bad and good news. The label definitely say 2 -3 metres. I'll leave it where it is for now but have the perfect place to move it to for next year.
It will take a year or 3 to start being that big but definitely a good idea to move it early on and let it get its roots down deep. Fab clematis.
Always worth checking that website before buying as they give info collated from both professional and private growers for academic interest, not commercial. My supplier in Belgium had a helpful addition on his labels to indicate hardiness which I used a lot as my garden was regularly below -20C for a spell in winter.
Huldine is good to -25C.

Thanks Obelixx. Our winters don't get down to those sort of temperature (famous last words). I just wish growers would be honest about the size of plants. It is a lovely flower.
