The Sparky series of clematis was selected from Dutch breeder Wim Snoeijer to give growers an option for producing earlier-blooming clematis. Sparky™ Pink clematis brings an pretty pink color to the group, along with the same, vigorous, disease-resistant nature and delicately toothed foliage. It is a free flowering, spring blooming clematis that's blooms resemble a ballerina's pink tutu. It begins blooming in mid-spring and will continue to delight throughout the summer. It is ideal for threading through fences and up among the open, bare branches of shrubs and trees that are late to leaf out in spring. Like all Clematis, it is a good companion to climbing roses, though its earlier bloomtime means that you will get a succession of flowers (first the Clematis, then the Rose) rather than a combination of both at the same time. It does well tumbling down the levels of terrace gardens, and likes to blanket a big boulder or other architectural feature in the garden. Never invasive, it grows easily and well, establishing slowly (the way of all Clematis!) and surely. Let this pink climber delight in your landscape all season long.
