Neutral	Joan	On Jun 11, 2009, Joan from Belfield, ND (Zone 4a) wrote: Editor's Note Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers. Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation. We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
Neutral	Karenn	On Oct 18, 2003, Karenn from Mount Prospect, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: This is in response to Dlorah - clematis usually establish root growth the first year planted; the second year more root growth with improved top growth and some (not a lot) flowering; and the third year, watch out - all of a sudden you have a mature vine! And you go, "Wow"! Just be sure to follow the care instructions for clematis.
