Description

The Sparky series of clematis was selected from Dutch breeder Wim Snoeijer to give growers an option for producing earlier-blooming clematis that were easy to ship in bud and bloom for peak sales season. Sparky® Pink clematis brings an appealing pink color the group, along with the same, vigorous, disease-resistant nature and delicately toothed foliage. The primary bloom time for these Atragene-type clematis is mid-late spring, with reblooming coming throughout the summer.

Growing Tips

This vine will thrive if mulch, a rock, or neighboring plants are positioned to keep the roots and base of the plant in cool, shaded conditions, while the leafy vines bask in the sun.
