I tried to I.D. this one myself but need help.

Edited to say..."SOLVED!"
Got this at Lowe's and - of course - it was the only blue one and had no tag. The color in the photo is pretty close to true. It's a sort of lilac blue.
This is the only bloom on it at the moment. It's about 3" across and is at the end of the longest "tendril".
I've been searching the web and the nearest I've been able to spot are Lawnsoniana, Violet Charm, William Kennett, or Ramona.

I'm hoping someone is intimately familiar with this variety though, and will recognize it immediately! :)
Really, it doesn't matter to me the name except I need to know what pruning group it is.

Many thanks for taking a look!

Different angle....

Well....I managed to solve it myself. I went back to Lowe's today and they had put more out...and some even had tags!

Turns out it is Violet Charm. Whew, I feel better now. :)

Yeah! Now go put an i.d. on your plant marker and put it outside at morning's first light!

Very pretty. Love the color
