Clematis 'Arabella' (Fretwell 1994)

Semi-nodding, flowers which start out deep, purple-blue but which lighten with age to reveal pink-mauve veining and bar. Cream or creamy-yellow anthers. Named for the wife of Lieutenant General John Kiszely, MC - the daughter of Lord and Lady Herschell.

Not to be confused with a much older, white cultivar raised by Lemoine & Fils, now apparently lost.
