Clematis 'Emilia Plater'
Small to medium, blue-violet flowers with darker veins and bar. Cream or green-yellow anthers on white filaments.
Szczepan Marczynski, on his website, writes that he cultivar name "commemorates Emilia Plater, the brave officer, who, at the age of 25, was killed during the Polish November Uprising (1830-1831) against Russian occupation. She is recognized as the symbol of Polish women fighting for their country's independence. Many artists - poets, writers and painters - have used her as a motif in their works."
