2nd Annual Clematis Kerfluffle @ Groovy Plants Ranch
Apr 16 @ 8:00 am – Apr 21 @ 5:30 pm

They’re jaw-dropping, they’re durable, they live for decades! Join us at the Ranch for the 2nd annual CLEMATIS KERFLUFFLE April 16-21st at Groovy Plants Ranch! Mark your calendars for this WEEKDAY plant party.
Finding quality clematis at garden centers can be very difficult and frustrating. That’s why we’ve grown over 1000+ healthy clematis HERE at GPR for you to shop– we have your standard favorites and some exciting harder to find varieties in pinks, purples, reds, whites, singles, doubles, multi-colored blooms, and our personal favorite TAIGA!
Every garden should have a clematis or five. Few plants offer the impact of summer color like clematis while thriving for years and years and years. We will be releasing clematis each day of the Kerfluffle.
