Clematis Pink Perfection

Montana group clematis tend to flip the regal look of clematis for a wilder, free-spirited appearance—if classic clematis are majestic, Montanas are queen's untamable sisters. Pink Perfection is a perfect, pretty-in-pink Montana clematis with massive growth potential. The early spring flowering of a Montana clematis is among the most rewarding experiences in gardening. Attractive foliage starts the season with a bronze tinge, then shifts to a pleasing green in summer. Pink Perfection's rosy pink flowers bloom so vigorously that the leaves are soon hidden from view. As an early bloomer, Pink Perfection will attract the first butterflies of the season. This thick-growing clematis serves as a lovely privacy plant on a trellis or arbor, and provides winter interest after the season has ended. As you choose a site for your clematis, note that Pink Perfection has a growth potential of over 20 feet—and you won't want to miss any of those lovely branches. Clematis montana 'Pink Perfection'
