I have a large flowered Clematis, deep purple with cherry red stripes on petals.
The tag does not identify name or type and says bloom time is spring-fall, height 4-15", prune back in spring.
Gardenality says you can identify plants if send a picture, but don't know where to send it?
Thank you.

Answer #3 · M Graves's Answer · Thank you again, John,
I did use the search feature for plants and Miss Betty Balfour sort of looks like this Clematis. Yes, I'll upload another picture on the trellis we built for it, the leaves are large and ovate. I'd read they needed something 1/2" to curl around, so I attached bird netting, but as I looked at videos about training, I'd seen a lady used metal fencing with 2 inch grids, so we attached the vines with zip ties. I may have to cut the bird netting from the diamond shaped holes of the trellis.
Yes, I got this right after Mother's Day and sent an email to the grower of which I've heard nothing.
I'll upload a picture. Thanks again.)

Lady Betty Balfour along with many others I had looked at. It is a possiblility as flower color and other characteristic can vary depending on location, soil, sunlight, and nutrients. The Lady Betty Balfour has a reddish cast through the sepals but doesn't seem to have as much a reddish line as yours. I will keep up looking for others and hopefully other members may know of your variety. Metal or wood trellises work best that are 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Because the leaf stem or petiole wraps itself around the trellis material anything thicker is hard to attach itself to and would need help with you attaching it to the larger trellis with plant ties. Anything smaller such as netting may get tangled enough not to be able to easily relocate a stem or remove for some reason. It may be easily cut if any pruning needs to be done.

Answer #2 · Maple Tree's Answer · M- There are 300 species of clematis with many cultivars being added every year. It would be hard to know exactly which clematis you have as so many are similar in flower color and size. Do you know if this plants flower is produced on stems from this years growth or on stems from the previous years' growth? Do you have a picture of the entire plant? Do you know if it is a vining or non-vining clematis? Does it seem to spread out with with leaf stems that would cling to a support or is it more compact? Matching the shape of the sepals, colors, and redish colored stamens I'm thinking this may be a popular cultivar named 'Gypsy Queen'. Is this a newly purchased plant? I'm also thinking it may have been grown in a green house and may be blooming early as the Gypsy Queen I believe is normally a later bloomer blooming in summer and fall. I uploaded a few pictures of this cultivar for you to see. If newly purchased you may be able to find where the nursery had received the plant from and could find out what plant it actually is. Possibly other members will see your question and picture of your plant and can also help with its identification.

I'm hopeful that I might hear from the grower this week, got an email that they received my inquiry. In the meantime, something new has developed that concerns me. The underside of some of the leaves looks bronze colored.
Is this something to be concerned about, will upload 2 pictures I took today.

Let me know what you find out from the grower. I just answered your new question and don't at this time believe there is much to be concerned with.

Answer #1 · Maple Tree's Answer · Hi M-To the right of your name below your question you will see in blue letters 'Upload a Picture'. You can click on this and upload any picture you have saved on your computer. Make sure you are logged in in order to upload a picture. The number of clematis cultivars is huge with new ones being added every year. A picture may help. You can also click on the Plants tab above and type in the word Clematis in the search box. There you will see many pictures of cultivars that may match the characteristics of your plant. I noted a few links below to some clematis plant files that may match the plant you have. Just click on the links to go directly to the plant file.
