Pink Fantasy Clematis

Clematis ‘Pink Fantasy’

Pink Fantasy Clematis is a graceful, large-flowered climber featuring soft lavender-pink blooms with deeper rosy centres. Its elegant flowers appear in early summer and are followed by repeat blooms later in the season, providing long-lasting colour on vertical structures.

This clematis has a refined, less overpowering colour palette than some bold varieties, making it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, mixed plantings, and spaces where a softer look is desired. With proper placement and winter protection, Pink Fantasy performs reliably in prairie gardens.
