Clematis 'Mrs Cholmondeley'
Large to very large lavender blue flowers with attractive darker veining and brown anthers, sometimes early flowers are semi-double (see third picture). In 1993 the variety was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. In 1912, William Robinson in his book 'The Virgin's Bower' lists this cultivar as "trusted to give lovely effects if culture and position be all [it] deserves."
Unusually, we have included a fourth flower picture (not, we know, a seedhead!) which shows just how large these flowers can get in good growing conditions.
