Though it does look familiar. When this was first posted someone suggested cuttings of hydrangea. It does look more like a pair of cuttings than a seedling to me.
Thanks Dovefromabove. I agree that the petals do seem rounder. On my earlier thread it was suggested it could be 'Justa' but again the petals look too pointy. Justa however is a viticella - they usually have smaller flowers....
when you google these clematis you get so many different photos you don't know what to believe
As you suggest, I think the roots should be a help in trying to identify your plant and could indicate that it is in the same family as Clematis - i.e. ranunculaceae.
Clematis all have compound leaves, to my knowledge - but other members of ranunculaceae have simple leaves.
It's certainly worth growing it on and seeing how the plant develops as this will give more clues as to its id. Seedlings can have immature foliage.
As Daniel Haynes mentioned, colour-wise, I think your Clematis is similar to 'H F Young' which was often promoted along with 'Hagley Hybrid' many years ago. Clematis breeding has moved on in the last 20 years or so and flower sizes have increased, so it may be that the varieties that you bought were of 'older' varieties.

Nutcutlet I think you have a good idea what that is and are being modest
Not quite KEF
I know what it isn't

Seedling, for sure. Here you go:
That's very interesting DW.
I don't think this will be a plant I know but with those photos it should be obvious to someone who does know it.
Have you spoken to anyone at T&M about it? You did say it came from T&M didn't you?

That´s a good idea, nutcutlet, I´ll do that!
I thought this was a hydrangea, but I'm not sure now.
Hello David K
Yes, you're right, it's a lace cap form of Hydrangea.
