Clematis Gravetye Beauty (Clematis 'Gravetye Beauty') is widely regarded as the finest and most richly colored red Texensis clematis in cultivation — a breathtakingly beautiful variety prized for its deeply saturated, velvety ruby-red to dark crimson tulip-shaped blooms of exceptional depth, intensity, and luxurious elegance. Named in honor of Gravetye Manor in West Sussex — the celebrated English garden estate of pioneering horticulturalist William Robinson and also home to Ernest Markham, one of the most influential figures in clematis breeding history — Gravetye Beauty carries with it a rich garden heritage that makes it as historically significant as it is visually spectacular. Each small to medium, nodding, tulip-shaped flower features thick, slightly recurving petals in a rich, glowing ruby-red with a distinctively deeper crimson intensity toward the center — a jewel-toned depth of red coloring that ranks Gravetye Beauty among the finest red flowering clematis of any type in cultivation. Blooming in remarkable abundance from midsummer right through to early fall, this outstanding Texensis variety is an absolute must-have for serious clematis collectors and any gardener who prizes exceptional red color. Plants arrive in 2 inch starter pots, well-rooted and ready to establish in your garden.
