Sweet Summer Love?

This is a newer cultivar, so I haven't found much feedback on it yet. I think I have a spot for SSL where I'd like it to go up and over the fence. Has anyone noticed whether or not it has a tendency to reseed everywhere like Sweet Autumn? I don't think my neighbors will be very happy with me if I invade their yard with tons of clematis seedlings along with my invasive strawberry runners (in my defense, those were planted years before they moved in).

It has no similar parentage to SAC so should not pose any similar invasive characteristics. SSL is far more closely related to C. x triternata Rubromarginata, which I have grown for years and has a very similar habit and flowering attributes. And fragrance !! :-))

I'm in zone 4 so it last one season then it was gone. I replanted with Mrs. N. Thompson and last year it looked like SSL again but where is Mrs. Thompson? Strange goings on in the world of clematis. I over 45 and have been doing this for 35 years, so I'm no newbie.
