Clematis, Early Large-flowered Clematis 'Fragrant Star'

This plant was found at a local hardware store in lower Washington state, hardiness zone 8b. I was excited at first because of the three ...Read Moremagic ingredients of cold hardiness, large flowers, and scent but am now feeling like sending this to the plant pound or finding someone in the neighborhood to sell it off to. There are flowers, from the beginning of May but they don't really smell like anything. I've gone up close to have a sniff. Nothing. I thought maybe it flowers at certain times of the day, maybe evening, maybe morning, maybe afternoon. Nothing. The flower is large but I am not finding them very attractive either. I tried planting it with a jasminum humile, a yellow jasmine, to make up for the lack of scent and homeliness. I tried sniffing another plant at Cornell Nursery in Portland to see if I'd smell anything, but there was no fragrance even among the nursery stock. I love absolutely everything in my garden but this thing is very offputting. Maybe with time my feelings will change. The only charm it seems to have is a good moon garden effect, the white petals are nice when it's shady, as it does get on the northeast facing site that it is on. It can be potted in a minimum of a 3 gallon container, so it does not take up much space. I am hoping the yellow jasmine helps to take attention off of this odd plant. I guess, it does flower early, perform in the shade, is cold hardy, and can be useful for small spaces in containers. It just doesn't live up to its name.
