Get ready for a celebration of color in your garden with the Pink Champagne Clematis! Imagine 6-8 inch wide, vibrant, deep pink blooms, elegantly striped with a paler pink bar down the center of each petal. These beauties put on a spectacular show in late spring to early summer, and then often treat you to a second flush of flowers in late summer or early fall. Growing to a height of 6-8 feet, this compact vine is perfect for adding vertical interest to smaller gardens, containers, trellises, or fences. For the most dazzling display, plant your Pink Champagne Clematis in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. While deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone, young shoots are always a tasty temptation so that some protection might be wise.
Give your clematis the best foundation by planting it in well-draining soil enriched with Watters Premium Mulch, which helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps weeds at bay. Feed it in early spring and again after the first wave of blooms with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage strong growth and abundant flowers. This clematis blooms on both old and new wood, so in late winter or early spring, prune lightly to remove any dead or weak stems, and then, after the first bloom, you can trim it back a bit to encourage more flowers later in the season.
