Thanks Sheal

 

That's the one I thought I'd googled

 

I think we have found it @Fern4 @Sheal @Lolimac

Sheal I will have a good look at the one you posted as it may be they have only changed the name slightly

Clematis Venosa Violacea

 

It looks huge in the pic..... @Spruce do you reckon it will be ok in a large container?

 

I think too vigorous Fern , what colour are you after for a very large pot ?
Guernsey Cream is ideal as it flowers low down.

 

I like the purple with white......so I've decided to go for C. Astra Nova.
