Planting in Canadian Zone 5B
Comments (5)Greems, we're in the same zone, and I have many clematis that do well here. If I had room I would have more! Most clematis are hardy enough for our zone - you just happened to choose some of the few that aren't:) Here's my list - all from plants, none from seed. As it is they take 3 years to really get going (more for type II); I can't imagine waiting for SEEDS to put on a respectable show... Jackmani Superba Serenata?

Comments (1)Not sure that they'll necessarily die in 5B...they survive in the open winter in my climate unprotected, but I've got them in the ground.

Comments (3)Thanks for the reply, that makes me feel better, because I went ahead and put plants in last week. The first frost for my zone is October 1, but October 15 is more typical for my neighborhood. I plan on putting in additional plants this weekend or next. I may be pushing my luck planting past mid September, but to me it is worth a try. Thanks again....See MoreTo plant or not to plant? (Gaura, Dianthus, Coreopsis) Zone 5b
Comments (9)I've never had issues with Dianthus coming back other than the voles eating them, and even then some sprigs usually survive. I've planted in the fall without issues and I am north of you, I think. Gaura is hit or miss regardless. It wants well-drained soil, and will die in cold winters, especially if there isn't good snow cover, but might survive in milder, dry winters....See Morelovemycorgi z5b SE michigan
