This plant arrived healthy and full of new growth. The vine is so long it is ready to be unwrapped and spread up the trellis. I ordered my plant the first week in May. Maybe the condition of the plant depends on when you order it. I couldn’t be happier. This plant was far more than I expected. It was well packed and the dirt arrived still in the pot.UPDATE: I ordered a second one of these about 2 weeks later. The second one came in pale, much smaller and overall far less impressive. I even had to check the leaves to make sure it was the same plant. There was no included plastic tag with the name of the plant on it. I’m not even 100% comfortable the plant will produce the same flowers. It’s far too much trouble to return the plant if I even could. I guess it’s just the luck of the draw what you get. The second photo is after several days of pampering. Water and sunlight have not improved the color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019
Love My new Clematis ! Had our house resided and new roof and contractors trampled 3 of my clematis :-( had to replace. Couldn't find anything locally this late in the year. This arrived in excellent condition, packaged very well, plant was wrapped in plastic. A little dirt had come out but no biggie. Plant was green and healthy looked liked it was just dug up, even had a trellis and much to my surprise one flower left with a beautiful star pattern which a petal fell off and lots of blooms that had all ready blossomed. She is a beauty. Highly recommend the price was very reasonable would have paid that much at a local store had they been in stock and she arrived in a reasonable amount of time! Very, very happy with purchase. If not to late going to order another ! Can't wait till next year for the bloom. A very nice size to for mail order plant she is not a little sprig !

5.0 out of 5 stars Small But Healthy
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021
This clematis arrived small but healthy and packaged well. No damaged or yellowed leaves. Very happy with this plant. I planted in the ground at first but it wasn't receiving enough sunlight so I moved it to a container on SW side of my garden close to arbor. I have a lot of trees around my property so I don't get more than 3 hours of sun anywhere in my garden. This clematis is doing well even though the sunlight is limited.

1.0 out of 5 stars Updated review!
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
4th update:
It wilted the very next day after it's first bloom. I ended up throwing it away. Too temperamental. Sad....
3rd UPDATE :
I have my very first clematis flower! I'm not even sure how it has survived, since I lost almost half of the plant. But I did clip off the sections that wilted or had brown spots and sprayed it with neem oil.
It hasn't fully opened, but I still took a picture of it!

2nd UPDATE:
The part where the vine was bent decided to die off, so I had to remove it. Down at the base of the plant, it's still growing. So there is that. 3 1/2 stars...
UPDATE:
I've had this planted for 9 days and I see a new shoot coming up and it has a flower bud developing on another section of the plant.
I'm feeling hopeful that it will survive! I switched my rating to 4 stars.
*************
I've bought plants in big box stores from Proven Winners. I would not have chosen this particular plant.
2 vines were bent from the packaging, hardly any soil in the container and it was root bound. Several yellow leaves with spots on them. I cleaned it up before planting it.
If you zoom in, you can see the bend in one of the vines.
I should have just gone to a big box. I would have paid less for the size but, they didn't have the color I was wanting.

I hope it survives!
