Carolyn - Your Ville de Lyon looks SO much better than mine. I moved mine last year in the hopes of having it imitate yours. The Ville de Lyon/City of Lyon may be the exact same plant but they've run into issues over use of the name.

Durandi is divine. Sometimes we can only get a clematis in the tiny size but they are so much more likely to face death if we take vacations and don't have a watering system to cover them.

I bought twelve through one co-op a few years ago and only one survived despite my loving care, Dr. Ruppel. Reports from other people were very similar to mine. Lesson learned! $48.00, plus shipping, is just too much for one baby clematis.

In general, you get what you pay for (even though that ends a sentence with a preposition).
