Perhaps the growers realize that this clematis will not survive the Alaska winters. Your best bet is to have a nursery in British Columbia or Washington ship you a Cezanne clematis early this spring once they receive their supply. Try contacting Windmill Gardens at 800-628-6516 and ask if they will ship you a plant with the understanding that you do not expect it to survive the winter. Nurseries should be well stocked with these wonderful new clematis by April. Cezanne clematis was bred to grow in containers and in my garden the plant bloomed for nine months in a pot.
