Re: Clematis campaniflora

(The favourite here is a very deep blue form. Most others have been a rather muddy pale mauve. Favourites elsewhere? Does it ever throw up a pure white? Desirable if so - but it never has here.) Tim
I have never read of a deep blue. Do you have a picture? A blue-mauve one, 'Lisboa', was grown by Magnus Johnson from seed he collected at the Lisbon Botanic Garden, according to Christopher Grey-Wilson's Clematis The Genus.

Mine are very pale mauve or white rimmed with mauve (or is it vice versa? I thought I had taken a picture, but can't find it.) A delicate colour on a long-blooming vine. One of mine is growing into bamboo, and another trails up an evergreen viburnum.
