Clematis clarkeana 'Winter Beauty'
- Let the chimes ring out for these glorious, bell-shaped blooms! This clematis flowers throughout the winter months, instantly cheering up even the dreariest of winter days
- Set against a backdrop of dense, deep green foliage, the pendulous flowers (blooming from December to February) comprise four linen-white, velvet-textured petals which recurve gracefully with age
- This climber is a fantastic choice for patio container growing, and will look sublime when trained up an obelisk or trellis. Alternatively, you can grow it against a south-facing wall and let it bask in the winter sun
- An evergreen variety, this clematis will retain its alluring, dark olive green foliage throughout the year. Half-hardy in nature, 'Winter Beauty' prefers a sheltered spot and may require some additional winter protection if planted outdoors
- Pruning group 1 - a variety of clematis that flowers early and doesn't require any routine pruning
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
