I absolutely love this one, it blooms all summer for me till October. (Yes that's my little pinky next to it.)
Shirley1md, are you here? Since Dave deleted all the info from the old co-op forum, I was hope you could remind me where this came from again. Also need tips on propogation.

Princess Diana is lookin' more gorgeous each year! She is definitely one of my favorites! That Clematis came from Donahues Greenhouse in Michigan. http://www.donahuesgreenhouse.com/
