White flowers aren't just dainty and beautiful in the garden, they're highly useful as companion plants, bringing out the brightness in the blooms you put around them. That's one reason Hyde Hall has such the acclaim it does, earning its place as a heritage Clematis for collectors. These flowers will produce a faint pink midrib when they open, but it'll fade to white as they mature, especially if there's enough sun to bleach the sepals to white. If it's grown in semi-shade you may get some soft pastels. The flowers are large and disc shaped, recurving beautifully on maturity. Their chocolate centers are really impressive against the white, arching sepals. Between the rich-toned centers, the paperwhite sepals and the graceful recurving form, these flowers have a distinguished, sophisticated style that fits in with a noble English garden, like its namesake RHS Garden Hyde Hall. This is a medium size plant with large flowers you can grow in a border or a container. It's smart to plant this alongside later large flowering varieties, as it's an early large flowering Clematis that'll ensure you have a nice long season. The flowers are also nice in fresh-cut arrangements.
