Looking to order at least 3 clematis. Any sales or good prices on them anywhere??
Who has the best prices on clematis right now??
Koi Gardens. Better prices direct than on their eBay site. Mention DG and you may get super service.
Most Definitely...I just ordered MORE from Jerome!

I ordered 3!!
This is so much fun!!!
His business is booming!!!
And his prices for the size just can't be beat..even his shipping is cheaper...don't forget his Ebay site .Hey Jess did you get Comtesse de Bouchard?...I posted some pics for you on GW...Jeanne

Will these flower this year?
I ordered 5 from him and it only came out to around $60 with shipping. Thats not bad for the size and quality. The cheapest ive seen!
Yes ..they will flower this year..but remember clematis take a good three years to be as spectacular as you see in most pics...Jeanne
I just put in an order with him too. Don't forget that even though his prices are cheaper, you still have to add in shipping & handling.
Also, since he sends smalled sized Clematis root balls, they need to be re-potted into a 1 gallon container with well amended soil and a handful of bone meal to encourage root development. I usually have mine remain in the container for about 6 months and then feel confident that they will thrive in my garden.
Shirl..the ones I got him from last year had roots about 3 inches growing out of the bottom of those little pots!!..I had to CUT the pots off and tease the roots apart...I planted them directly into my gardens last fall and you should see those babies go!! I have one huge bud on "Royalty" that should be open anyday...Jeanne
Jeanne: Good to know that his Clematis are well rooted, even if they come in small pots. They'll grow and grow and grow!
How long does it take him to respond? I sent in my order a couple of days ago and still haven't heard back.
same here. i sent him an email to but nothing yet.
I have put in two orders with him and it took him almost a week or two to acknowledge the second part to it, the first one was much quicker... give him a little bit of time I am sure he will get back to you, I know they have been working on redoing their website that maybe why the delay...
Jerome seems very nice... haven't gotten plants yet, but looking forward to seeing them!
Yes i did order Comtesse de Bouchard Jackmannii and Henyii. i did not get a email yet either. Probably busy with orders!! I might have to buy a few more but i will see when then come..
Shirley...Jerome's GrandMother unexpectedly passed away and he has been in Florida..he just got home and should soon be answering everyone's emails...Jerome, if you are reading this hon..I sure am sorry for your loss...Hugzzzzzzz..Jeanne
Very sorry to here Jerome! Hope you are well.

Thanks so much for letting us know about Jerome's Grandmother's passing. I'm very sorry for his loss.
Just wondering if anyone has heard if Koi will be shipping Clems this month, or waiting till next month to begin (they had said April but with the circumstances I didn't expect them to start till later)?
Thanks
I've already received mine and they are budding out..You can always email Jerome and ask...Jeanne
I think I will, thanks Jeanne!
I requested a later shipping.
I found out that some of the varieties were not available and he has had to redo my order... I am hoping they might ship out soon but have not heard anything yet...
I know I am a little late - but check out http://www.gardenvines.com/catalog/ - they are a little more expensive than Koi - BUT the size of the plants are about three times what "regular" mail order plants are - healthy - phenomenal customer service - I even received a blooming one on my last order
Dan has excellent clematis as well and a great guarantee program..which is VERY IMPORTANT..his are a bit more because they are larger clematis...he also runs sales on some and free shipping at times..so always check those things out...Jeanne
