Hut 3 Now everyone can grow clematis! Easy to grow and lots of flowers, that’s the hallmark of Pink Mink.™ Enjoy an abundance of bright pink-on-pink blooms – a pink petal with a darker pink strip down the middle. Petals curve gently towards the back at the tips. Prefers average, well-drained but moist soil. Keep the roots cool. Clematis prefer their “feet in the shade, head in the sun.” (Shade with other plants, mulch or rocks.) Blooms on new wood and benefits from a hard pruning in late winter. Leave at least two pairs of buds on each stem. Plant in the ground or in a large container. Don’t forget to buy a trellis! Height: 9-10 ft. Spread: 6-7 ft. Family: Ranunculaceae Bloom time: early summer to late summer Sun: full sun to part shade Water: medium According to Rutgers University, Clematis are “occasionally severely damaged” by deer. photo credit: Proven Winners a Proven Winners plant
