This clematis has done very well this year.

Looks like my 'Etoile Violette' - a quite vigorous one.

Etoile is such a reliable Clem.

Yes it is a vigorous grower so once again thank you Anget for suggesting its name. I think you are probably right yet again.

It’s certainly doing well! Lots of flowers on this one, Chris.

I love the colour Chris! I have one similar to this but there are so many different blues, it's hard to say which one I have got.

Not quite true!
We lose more clematis than we manage to keep going!!! Slugs and snails being the main culprits!
