I do agree that a larger rootball will give you what you want sooner. However, I also think it depends on what one wants at a given time. I have bought clems from a variety of sources. I have also bought the 4" liner pots. I have found that different vendors tend to carry different clem varieties and what strikes my fancy at the time is where my business will go. I have to be honest, I have even broken down and ordered Crimson Star from Springhill - but I really wanted it and I have been babying it.

I have found the 4" liner pots are probably a year or two behind the plants that are typically sold as '1 year old plants'. But with a bit of babying, they do ok.

This is Clematis Hakuri that is growing with Veronica Giles von Hees. I bought Clematis Hakuri from Brushwood.
