Are you asking a question that applies more to the 3 different groups of clematises, when they bloom, how big the flowers are? Just speaking personally, I go for the photo that impresses me most and then research online at DG and ATP.

Below you can see that paying double does not guarantee a better, healthier plant. It's my own fault that I allowed the one on the right to get root bound. I did tease apart the roots and it is doing very well! I took photo #2 yesterday.

Don't be lured by price!
