Clematis Pink Swing

This ethereal Clematis features blooms that look like a ballerina's skirt—a bell–shaped, graceful curve that curls out at the very end of each petal. The medium–sized flowers grow on dark foliage that has attractively serrated edges. Pink Swing will bloom in late spring and rebloom throughout the summer, delighting anyone who passes by with its dreamy, nodding look as well as its pleasant grapefruit scent. It will thrive in sunny or partially sunny spots in the garden, but make sure it avoids becoming too hot. Pink Swing also makes a tremendous ground cover. Clematis macropetela 'Pink Swing' PBR
