Hello !! This is a new intro .. I saw it last year online but it sold out before I could get my hands on it . I still want it ! The color is beautiful and the shape of the flowers. I would love to hear if anyone tried it as well. I think it looks beautiful!

Yes first saw it on proven winners but it was to $$$$$ for me.

I've ordered it from Amazon. Hope I get the right clem!! I've heard sometimes they aren't to reliable. I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Can you link it for me? All I’m seeing is the proven winners one . Which I think is a good deal , a gallon is a good size . I may order it here instead of bluestone. I do hope you get the right one.. it may be worth ordering from proven winners so you know you are getting the right one !

The registered marketing name is Brother Stefan, the name under which it received its patent is ‘Stefan Franczak’. So you might find it under either. It is found on Clematis on the Web as Stefan Franczak, and since the database search function doesn’t like spaces I just put in Stefan in the name blank and left everything else blank. Unfortunately, I cannot directly link the results of a search, but here is the search form and you can find the plant from here.

and here is the plant patent page. Not sure why they compared it to Sweet Summer Love which has no similarities . . .

To my eye it looks similar but not identical to HF Young. It is likely a smaller plant, but both are type two prune style.

Thanks folks. They arrived and are still sleeping. LOL I'll keep in house till planting time.

I'm so ready for spring. How about you ???

They were shipped from Proven Winners
