Clematis Pink Mink® is a showy, repeat blooming perennial, late-flowering clematis offering summer interest, blooming heavily in early summer. Free flowering, the plant creates a veritable curtain of single, pink flowers with a broad central stripe on each petal. Plants bloom on new wood and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Pink Mink® is a deciduous climbing vine, has an upright, vining habit of relatively small, bright green leaves. There is an old saying about clematis' growth rate: The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap. Train clematis to climb a trellis, arbor, post. At maturity, this plant will grow about 9-10' tall and six feed wide.
