I have added a new plant ID to the Plants We Grow list under In the Garden – Clematis recta ‘Purpurea’.

Clematis recta ‘Purpurea’ covered in masses of scented white flowers

This is not your typical clematis, although it still needs the same requirements as all other clematis for soil, light and moisture. But you might also want to provide it with some support because if left to its own devices, it will sprawl along the ground. Your choice.
