Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Clematis
'Pink Fantasy'
climbing leather flower
Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' is a charming, compact climbing leather flower that brings a welcome softness to the garden from midsummer onwards. Neat in habit and deciduous, it is clothed in bright green foliage that sets off its generously sized blooms to perfection. Each flower opens in a delicate pale pink, enlivened by deeper pink stripes and a subtly richer centre, giving Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' a sense of depth without heaviness. The colouring feels fresh and optimistic, particularly effective when the light filters through the petals, creating a luminous, almost watercolour-like effect. Despite its relatively modest stature, Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' never feels small or insubstantial when in full flower.
Blooming steadily from midsummer into early autumn, Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' is an excellent choice for extending the clematis season when earlier varieties have finished. Its compact nature makes it especially suitable for containers, smaller trellis panels, or weaving through shrubs where space is at a premium. Happy in sun or partial shade, Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' performs best with its roots kept cool and its stems allowed to enjoy the light. Reliable, easy-going, and quietly generous, this variety is ideal for gardeners who appreciate long-lasting colour delivered with a light touch. Whether trained against a fence or allowed to mingle informally with neighbouring plants, Clematis 'Pink Fantasy' adds warmth, movement, and a gently romantic note to the late-summer garden.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
