Clematis viticella ' Peveril Pristine: ' A white C. Mme. Julia Correvon, a useful late white bloomer.
Clematis integrifolia ' Amelia ': A sister of the famous cultivar C. 'Arabella'. The same growth habits as C. ' Arabella ' but a softer colored very attractive flower.
Clematis heracleifolia 'Ember' : A herbaceous species. Long flowering and in addition to the rich red coloring the seedheads are also a feature. I am not aware of another Red herbaceous cultivar in the current offerings with-in the trade.
Clematis ' Halcyon': A Winter flowering species. it would be an ideal competitor for the Clematis cultivar ' Freckles' .
Clematis integrifolia ' Miranda ' : Also a sister of the cultivar C. 'Arabella'. This is not a soft colored cultivar, it is dramatic. It is very dark purple,with almost a black center stamen structure.
Clematis texensis ' Rapture': A sister to the cultivar C. texensis ' Princess of Wales'. It is stunning, flowers on a plant of this cultivar will capture the eye of any Clematis producer.
Clematis x jackmanii 'Consort': The coloring of the unfurling flowers will emphasize the edging on those that are fully open.
