Clematis 'Azurit'
This name appears in Vilhelmina Riekstina's 1986 book, but with no explanation at all. We thought that the cultivar may have been lost but we have received details published by the Central Republic Botanic Garden in Kiev.
Medium sized, intense blue flowers with yellowish anthers. Apparently flowering is 'free and prolonged'.
