Please can anyone tell me which Clematis this is? It's a herbacious one with a funny name! (I lost it's tag!)

Is it Multiblue?

I just went out to check the one flower I got on my multi blue for comparison (I think it was darker blue with darker stamens) and the wind's ripped it apart, lol! Perle D'Azur or Prince Charles? Though seems a bit early for those.

It looks like on of the Integrifolia group might be Integrifolia 'Arabella'

Jen h, Think you are right about Integrifolia, not Arabella, of which I have 3! It's taller and paler!
Thx Bamboo, that wind is a pain isn't it! But none of those! It's not in my Clem books.
When I am next passing our local(ish) clematis nursery, I will go ask the Clematis Guru!

Trouble is, it's hard to keep up - so many new ones have appeared in the last few years.

Thats true Bamboo, wish there was a really good clem book, trouble is, there are a few thousdand!

there is an Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Clematis which I'd love to have, but last published 2001, so probably not up to date anyway. There is also a British Clematis Society - haven't checked if they've a website or anything, but might be worth a look.

I went and looked in the clem nursery.....It's called Fukuzono!! It's flowering very early though, it's very pretty. I will cut it back when it's had it's first flush of flowers and it should flower lots more.
Thanks all for your help.

never heard of it!

10 May, 2011

 

Apparently quite hard to find now! The owner of the clem nusery is going to pop by and take a cutting!

Oh wow - there's me thinking its a new one...

Love the name, there could be a few variations on its pronunciation ;-)

At the nursery, it gave many a person a giggle!
The only new one I've bought recently is 'Rebecca' (along with 1,000's of others! and 'Avant Gard' in 2005, which was a Chelsea flower, it's wonderful, a Viticella small double, pink in the middle and red outer.
