it was developed in UK, then sold here by chalk hill. should have clarified that. there are many clems there that are not available (yet) in the USA. not sure where propagated or how imported.
you are right atragene group needs a fully dormant period. i have never developed my collection very deeply in the atragene group, added some this year and will add more next year.

here is macropetala markhams pink, another atragene. this was actually one of my first clems, purchased like 8 years ago, maybe 9 from chalk hill. it is my earliest blooming clem each season. not sure how long this original plant will live, but i have layered some to protect my display.
i am also propagating some from layers/cuttings and will be giving them away next summer to anyone who wants the plant. i want to spread the genes so to speak!!!! these are one of the easiest clem groups to grow from cuttings.
