OH That is so beautiful, I love it.
Another "got to have". Great color.
That is pretty. You have time. let me tell you wahat happened. I first ordered 6 from JacksonPerkins. They arrive dead. I planted anyways. just a whim......So, I call, they send 6 more. Well, they were just half dead. I gave up. I stuck them in too. Now. that was 2 years ago. I had a little growth on them last year...and now, this year it is doing well. So. who knows. BUT. I also tore some things out and replaced. WITHOUT marking. So, WHO knows what it is. I have since learned not to trust my mind to "OH I"LL REMEMBER WHAT IT IS" and I am investing in markers. so, We shall see what we shall see. I DO hope it is that one though.

They are all attractive in my eyes but I must admit to having a particular liking for the more modest looking flowers of species like maropetala and tangutica.
It reads as though your supplier was not to be trusted. Yes, go get yourself some labels. Or just make a planting plan on paper.
Just in case you should need any basic info I have put my Clematis page http below.
