I bought a "Sweet Autumn Clematis" last year from Garden Crossings. I never really worried about what I had until this year when it just sat there stunted all summer. Started me looking at what I might really have...
I saw pics and descriptions online that said that terniflora has rounded, pointy leaves, and virginiana has serrated, and lobed leaves. Mine seem to be serrated and lobed!
Also is there a performance difference between the two? I DO want one that grows tall and can cover a long, long hedgeline I have. I don't want one that is smaller!

Which do I have? (sorry for any blur in the pic, my hands shake a lot lol)

Thanks
