Notes

'Pink Mink' clematis (Clematis 'Pink Mink') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It can reach about 106 to 122 inches tall, so give it a sturdy support. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Bobo hydrangea, and Little bluestem.
