Jeanne,

Thanks. I bought mine as a tiny, bare root plant, single stem about 4-5 years ago. It is blooming now for its 4th year. It has multiple vines/stems over 6ft long. The flowers are huge, maybe 7-8" D. It blooms med heavy almost all summer despite the fact that it is in shade almost all day. Still the flowers have always looked like the one below. I'm wondering how long it will take to mature.

Actually, I have mixed feelings on this issue. I like the look shown in all of official photos of Blue Light, but I also like this look. I think the light green center and pale green tips are beautiful with the pale blue flower. I'd almost prefer they WERE 2 different plants.

Thanks again. You have many lovely clematis.
