With Autumn Clematis it only takes one plant quickly establish a colony fast!
Thankfully, it doesn’t quite manage it around here, just a touch too cold for it to seed itself with abandon. I’ve only had one ‘volunteer’ seedling actually manage to establish itself. Interestingly, that one landed in a mostly buried pot in a transplant bed, which may have boosted the soil temperature just that much.
The roadside clematis appears to be mostly the true wild autumn clematis.
