A beautiful addition to the garden, the delicate blooms of clematis make excellent cut flowers and can be used in a range of displays for the table.
Inspiration

Dainty pink and white flowers flow over the edge of a galvanised bucket.
A tray adorned with small glass bottles of clematis stems brightens up a wooden garden table.
