Clematis
Clematis · aka traveller's joy, old man's beard (seed form)
Clematis is the vining flower that has migrated from garden to cut-flower over the last decade. Dutch breeder Amazing Amsterdam produced the first commercially viable blue clematis in cut form — genuinely rare and photogenic. Vining stems make it the perfect edge flower for cascading bridal bouquets.
