Clematis 'Kifujin-no-tashinami'

Small flowers, light purple with open bell-shaped mouth, inside pale yellow. Yellow anthers.

Not to be confused with 'Kifujin' of Masako Takeuchi. The cultivar's form reminded the raiser of a noble lady of high society wearing an elegant dress enjoying the tea time in the afternoon and this gave rise to the name.
