Description

Pink Flamingo, Clematis alpina, 2.5m x 1.5m Climbing Plants

Clematis Pink Flamingo is a delightful climber with masses of semi-double, hanging bell flowers in spring and early summer. The delicate, nodding blooms have pale pink petals, flushed deep rose towards the base, fading to white at the outer edges. This low maintenance, deciduous climber will cover a fence or wall up to 2.5m and after flowering, the elegant, fluffy pink seed-heads create a beautiful ornamental feature.

Growing Pink Flamingo

An ideal climber to grow up a wall at the back of a cottage border or over an arbour, where the hanging flowers can be enjoyed from the seat below. Suitable for planting in containers providing it has a trellis or other support to climb up, Pink Flamingo will also grow happily through deciduous trees and shrubs.

Planting Companions

It creates an elegant backdrop to a mixed border and combines well with the soft tones of Geranium x oxonianum, Persicaria bistorta superba and Primula vulgaris. As well as fitting beautifully into pastel colour schemes, Pink Flamingo makes a good companion for other spring-flowering climbers such as ornamental quince, honeysuckle and other alpine clematis.

Did You Know?

Clematis alpina, the Alpine clematis, is indigenous to Europe. It grows naturally in the Alps and Tatra Mountains, tolerating temperatures as low as -30oC. Pink Flamingo, a Clematis alpina cultivar, was introduced by renowned plantsman Raymond Evison in the 1990s.

Planting Instructions

Cut all stems back to 30cm the first spring after planting. Pruning is not necessary in subsequent years, but cutting back dead and damaged stems will keep the plant healthy and encourage vigorous growth.
