Double celebration for Clematis ‘Beautiful Bride’



Clematis ‘Beautiful Bride’ from New Leaf Plants, with its stunning large white flowers, has been voted the Best New Plant by visitors to the HTA National Plant Show, which took place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, this week.

It also won the judged New Plant Awards, which was announced on the opening morning of the show.

A free flowering variety, Clematis ‘Beautiful Bride’ produces an amazing display of large pure white flowers and really provides a wow factor. This combined with its fantastic name means that the plant is sure to have wide appeal.

The plant was bred by Szczepan Marczynski and introduced to the UK market by specialist clematis and climbing plant nursery, New Leaf Plants, based in Evesham.
