Gold Medal - Chelsea Flower Show

Launched at Chelsea was the stunning c. Diamantina ™, Evipo039(N), a plant developed by Evison® and Poulsen® in Raymond's Guernsey Clematis Nursery.This exceptional clematis was discovered by Raymond as a sport in 2002 and has been developed over 8 years where it has proved to be outstanding in trials.
