here is a hagley hybrid. one of my favorite clems. the coloring does vary from garden to garden.
but if you look closely you should see a time band of navy blue at the base of the anthers in all clones of this clematis. i would indeed plant it withtheones you mentioned. and it is always good to put in an extra plant so you will have good coverage faster, or back up nthe event one of them does not do well.
one reason we struggle with clems is that people usually plant only one plant,where with most perennials, even novice gardeners plant several to many.
i advocate planting 3 clems of the same variety if it is an important area where you want coverage and a decent display as soon as possible. 5 clems in a mixed grouping works well too and helps maximize the display space of a large trellis or other support.
