Clematis "John Huxtable" has been growing in my gardens for 4-5 years now and while his blooms are much more larger than "Huldine"..he is not as vigorous as "Huldine" in my opinion.He has done much better with each passing year and gets hard pruned 2-3 times during my growing season as I get 2-3 flushes from him with my long growing season..but in all he is a very beautiful clematis and I am glad he lives in my gardens...Jeanne
