I planted this several years ago. It is in a difficult spot, west facing with lots of dry, wind. But, it hangs on! The color is a little more reddish than the photo. The flowers are about 2" across; fairly small but plenty of them.
Please I.D. for me, too. I forgot what it is.
I'm going to guess it is Madame Julia Correvon.
I think Meig is right..Looks alot like Clematis "Mme. Julia Correvon" to me as well...Jeanne
Thank you. It does look like julia correvon. It is having a good year.
it is one of my favorites, but i say that about a lot of my clematis! another one that blooms at the same time and is a rounder, more magenta one is "regency", not common but lovely.
