'Funny Face' is a integrifolia x viticella cross.

Outside of flowers are purple, inside is a pinkish-purple. The tepals have broad white or very pale pink margins. Sport of 'Blue Boy'.

Tepals are purplish-pink with white spots on the inside, the outside of tepals are white with a pale purple tinge.

In spring, the flowers are ball-shaped and double with pale pink to white flowers. In summer, they're semi-double and pure white. Foliage is bronze when young.

Outside of tepals are lavender to violet-blue or red-purple turning cream color at the tips; inside pale green or yellow. Tepals are thick and ribbed. Dark colored stems.

Very tolerant of strong sunlight and rain. Seedling of alpina rosea.

Very long bloom period. Beautiful ripples on edges of tepals.

Parentage: 'Candida' x 'Jackmanii Alba' + 'Ramona'. Named after the first female Soviet cosmonaut, Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova. 'Tchaika' translates as 'seagull'.

Center Star is a cross beween integrifolia and angustifolia.

Outer tepals are blue-purple, fading to cream at the base. Below each flower there is a pair of tepal-like leaves, green with blotches of purple. Does well in shade.

The tepals are paler purple towards the base. Outside of tepals have three prominent ridges. Margins are curved in. Named after the raiser's wife.

Fragrance is like lilies. Each flower has one or two tepals slightly larger than the rest. Named after the house where it was grown.

The name is Latvian for miracle.

Needs shelter - would be good for a conservatory.

Fades in full sun. Seedling of 'Nelly Moser'. Named after the location of the Pennell's nursery.

Not to be confused with the viticella 'Blue Belle'.

This hybrid is an example of what they call 'cocktail breeding': 'Jackmanii' x 'Candida, 'Nelly Moser' and 'Lawsoniana'. The name means turquoise.

Sport of 'Multi Blue'. Raised by the Yaku Nursery in New Zealand, which regards it as superior to Multi Blue.

One of the most unusual clematis ever! White flowers with a wide magenta edge on each tepal which feathers into its white center. Have not been able to locate a source for this clematis.

Flowers fade with age. Back of tepals have a red-purple bar and midveins. Flowers start out flat, but become gappy and slightly recurved at the tips.
