Soft nodding bells of pale rose-pink bloom in early spring, followed by decorative seedheads, simple and stunning.

Clematis ‘Markham’s Pink’ is an elegant macropetala climber that produces abundant double bell-shaped flowers in pale rosy-pink during April and May. The blooms surround clusters of paler staminodes and creamy yellow stamens, creating a delicate contrast. After flowering, fluffy silvery seedheads persist, adding texture well into summer. Deciduous and hard-working, it’s ideal for trellises, walls, or cascading through shrubs where its charm can shine.

Key features:

• Double bell-shaped nodding flowers in pale rose-pink, with cream-yellow stamens

• Blooms in mid-spring (April-May) on old wood; little to no repeat bloom

• Decorative fluffy seedheads that remain after flowering

• Hardy deciduous climber with sharply pinnate foliage (multiple leaflets)

• Pruning group 1, minimal pruning needed (just tidy after flowering)

Perfect for:

• Trellises, walls, or fences for a springtime display

• Planting through shrubs or large plants to let blooms float above foliage

• Large containers or patios where seedheads can be seen up close

• Cottage, wildlife, or romantic garden schemes with soft colour tones

• Gardeners wanting early bloomers that require little maintenance

Growing calendar:

• Planting: April
