The new cultivar is the result of a breeding program, resulting from a crossing made in May 1998. The inventor is Brian Collingwood, a citizen of the United Kingdom. The new variety was discovered as a seedling resulting from an open pollination of an unnamed, unpatented seed parent, Clematis patens, with an unidentified variety of Clematis as the pollen parent. The discovery was made in February 1999.
