I got this in the 50 percent sale at Bluestone Perennials too. It is so nice. The blooms make excellent cut flowers and seem to last longer than most other Clematis. It could be because the petals are more waxy and thicker. I have even seen them dry and not fall apart in the vase. This thing repeat blooms very well too. I really like the lighter color that shows from the side. Do any of you grow this one? In my opinion it is one of the best Clematis out there.
