Pink Mink Clematis vine will provide an abundance of bright two-toned pink blossoms in your garden for months. This plant won the Silver Medal Plantarium 2011, Gold Medal at Green Is Life and Silver Medal at Flowers 2011 awards. It was hybridized by the clematis master, Szczepan Marczyński. Marczynski is known for hybridizing clematis to produce numerous flowers. This plant is a butterfly and hummingbird magnet and the flowers can be cut to create bouquets.
Pink Mink Clematis x ''Krakowiak'' will produce bright pink 3 to 4-inch-wide flowers with a thick magenta stripe down the center of each of its curled petals from early summer into autumn. Grow it in a sunny to partially sunny location in USDA planting zones 4 to 9. You’ll need a large space for this vining plant to have room to spread its beauty. The vines will ultimately reach 9 to 10 feet in height/length with a spread of approximately 6 feet.
Pink Mink Clematis Vine Care
Pink Mink Clematis is deciduous so it will lose its leaves in the fall. It blooms on new vines, so it can be cut back to a pair of buds about 6 to 12 inches above the ground in the spring. This plant can be used on a trellis or fence, in borders or climbing over shrubs. It’s disease resistant and needs little care besides watering during dry periods. This clematis is in group 3, which means it blooms on new wood. Because of that, the best time to prune is either late winter or early spring. You can cut all the way to the ground if you choose to.
Pink Mink Clematis Vine Spacing
It’s often grown as a focal point in the garden or over an arch or covered walkway. It can also be grown in a large container. Space plants 72 to 78 inches apart in a garden setting.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
