I grow a lot of this...also common name Persian shield It can grow 3-5 ft. tall and spread 2-3 ft. Will grow in sun or part shade. Can be used as a ground cover. Great speciman plant.

Thank you penguu, I think you have it. I found some other pics of Lisianthus "blue rim" that look very similar to the photo I posted. Thanks so much for your help!

Never mind, I looked back through my records, and I'm pretty sure it's Clematis tubulosa.

Yea, got it!! I posted this same question in Garden Web's "Name That Plant" forum and someone came up with Ptelea trifoliata, otherwise known as Hoptree, Wafer-ash, Stinking-ash, Water-ash Rutaceae, though I'm not sure yet which cultivar mine is. I may try propagating with seeds and see how that goes. If it works out I may bring some to a swap. They are delicious smelling! But it's really odd, because when I got my nose right up to it, I thought for a second it smelled more like a skunk! So perhaps that is why one of its names is "stinking-ash". One cultivar "Aurea" is becoming popular as a fragrant plant to use in wildscapes as much for its gold fall color as its lovely sweet scent. I've included a link if anyone is interested in learning more.
