Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Having retrieved this lovely clematis from Japan some time ago and left it growing happily away in our…..less than tended area or stock house, we finally decided we needed more. A diminutive vine, to under 6-8', this form is deciduous with beautifully variegated cream, white and green leaves and pale blue flowers in mid spring. A delicate creature, so would prefer to be planted near or, shall we say, on a shrub or trellis protected from the hottest afternoon sun, where the soil is medium in "richosity”, does not severely dry out, and is not likely to be disturbed. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
