Comments (7)Tips on how to grow them are abundant on this forum if you read some of the old posts. There are also a lot of beautiful pictures. I bought some great books on ebay for $4 each including shipping. There are a number of good sellers online such as Brushwood, Hummingbird Farm ( to me the roots are best from them), Donahue's - best price, small plants that need to be potted up and grown on before planting in the ground. There are others. Plants available at a place like Lowe's hardware tend to be a nice size with great roots and a good price. Those might be ready to go in the ground. Many of them lately have been the patio or pottable types by Raymond Evison. Cezanne is pretty. Some seem a little lacking in vigor. At least you are apt to see them in bloom. Walmart has some decent plants but at my local store they neglect to include labels so you don't know what you're getting. It's as if they think Walmart shoppers don't care what they're getting or don't read labels. Anyway some of the type 2 pruning group wilt so to play it safe on your first clem a type 3 pruning group could be easier. I think they're tougher but can get pretty big. Look up viticellas. Smaller blooms but lots of them. Is there a particular color you're leaning towards?...See Moresara82lee
