One of the most elegant flowering climbers in our gardens, the Pink Flamingo Clematis is also one of the most easiest to grow. An early bloomer, from mid to early summer this variety features an abundance of dainty, nodding, bell-shaped flowers with soft pink petals etched with deeper pinkish purple veins. Happy plants will often rebloom in late summer. After flowering the vine is adorned with attractive white seed heads that dangle from the ends of flowering stems in fall. A very hardy Clematis that puts on a spectacular show as a climber or rambling groundcover.

Clematis in pruning Group 1 flower on last year’s wood and therefore should not be cut down to near ground level (especially montanas, armandii, chrysocoma and gracilifolia which can be killed by hard pruning). They should be pruned as soon as possible after they finish flowering. Avoid pruning them after the end of July, so they have time to produce next year’s flower buds before winter sets in. This group should be lightly pruned to remove all dead and wispy growth. Additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old wood to reduce the bulk of the plant. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds.
