General Culture:
Easily grown in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Most clematis prefer full sun, but this cultivar tolerates part shade. Roots should be kept cool (shade with annuals or perennials and/or use a 2" mulch) and uniformly moist. Cut back hard in early spring to a pair of buds that are 9-18" above ground.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This large-flowering, hybrid clematis cultivar features profuse, 4-6" across, rose pink flowers with creamy yellow stamens. Bloom comes from the current season's growth and appears in a long, continuous summer display. One of the most popular of the pink clematis.
Problems:
No serious problems. Some susceptibility to wilt. Important to supply adequate nutrients and water to support rush of growth. This vine needs a support structure (natural or manufactured) on which to grow.
Uses:
This clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch or lamppost. May also be planted to sprawl over and through large shrubs.
