It's three years old and was part of a trio from a clematis "grab bag" from Spring Hill Nursery. I can't find the tags now, the other two didn't make it. One was "Mrs.Cholmondeley", but I know this isn't it. I think the other two were "Warsaw Nike" and "Spirit of Poland". I'm thinking "Warsaw Nike", how about you? Also prune 2/3?

Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert, but it looks to me like a dark Niobe Clematis

I'm thinking 'Warsaw Nike' as well :-) - 'Polish Spirit' doesn't have that prominent boss of white stamens. Hard prune - Group 3.

Here is a link that might be useful: 'Warsaw Nike'

I agree. 'Warsaw Nike' !

'Polish Spirit' doesn't have a red tint to the purple.

Polish Spirit also has highly colored anthers which yours does not so I agree that it is Warsaw Nike which is a pruning group III.

In the following picture, Polish Spirit is the top flower. Note the colored anthers which yours does not have.
