One of the earliest large-flowered clematis to bloom, award-winning Clematis produces masses of bold, bright pink flowers, up to 6-8 in. across (15-20 cm), adorned with white central bars and yellow stamens. Flowering comes in two waves: first in late spring to early summer, then in late summer and early fall. The flowers give way to attractive seed heads. Shade tolerant, the compact habit of this large-flowered clematis makes it ideal for small gardens, containers.
