texensis are lovely clematis, long flowering period and easy to prune, personally i prefer the 'princess diana' variety to albany for the shape and colour of its flowers
if your looking for a fastgrowing, longe flowering purple clematis, try 'semu'. different pruning in that u just cut away stems down to new buds end of feb, but well worthwhile imo
