  Huldine is gorgeous but does get very big.

  Lovely combination of blue & pinks, @Rubytoo !

  I have and recommend Clematis Saphyra Double Rose ‘Cleminov29’. It was created especially to spread rather than climb; a characteristic I did not know when I planted it and tried with little success to force it to climb up its trellis.

  Quotation from From this site: https://www.starrosesandplants.com/plants/perennial/clematis-double-rose:
  

  "Double Rose™ Clematis has pink blooms with flashes of fuchsia towards the center of each petal. It is best used as a weed smothering groundcover with no support and allowed to sprawl through your garden. Blooms from June through September."

  

  C. Saphyra 'Double Rose': climbs and sprawls!

  @Marlorena Not a problem, not contradictory at all, we all have our opinions and favourites etc. I also was editing at the time.
  I have found the same about posts,  others have mentioned it, we all get embarrassed
  Sorry to Rob Marston too as I did not see your thanks post , while I was trying to add the photos I guess. I looked foolish too for waffling on..
  
  Thanks too @Richard Hodgson for posting a proper specimen of Alionushka, would not expect any less.  (I was told when I got mine it was a cross diversifolia X Neshdanii) 
  Rob can see how floriferous they can be.
  It is all helping Robmarston to fill his garden with more Clematis.
  'tis a cunnung plan, Good Luck Rob.
  
  @Lizzie27 Thanks. Good luck with your Princess Di and potentilla, that will be a nice combo. @PapiJo Thankyou the Clematis brings out the pink in the Corydalis.
  And that is a nice new clematis you have too too.
