The pretty, star-shaped blooms open a light peachy-pink with rose-pink bars which gradually fade as the flowers mature to a pale-pink. The six broad, overlapping tepals have a textured surface and their ruffled margins taper to pointed tips that gently reflex as the bloom matures. Hard pruning will keep the plant more compact but will delay flowering by a few weeks.
Pink Fantasy is suitable for growing in containers or planting in the garden.

Pruning will help keep your clematis vines healthy. Pruning the dense tangle of stems opens the remaining shoots to air and light which encourages healthy growth and reduces the incidence of rot and disease.
This variety belongs to Pruning Group 3 and will flower in summer on new growth from the current growing season. Pruning of group 3 Clematis is needed to prevent your plant ending up as a tangled mess of old and new growth and the blooms only appearing on some areas and not appearing in others. Prune your Group 3 clematis back to around 30cm above the ground or to a set of healthy, strong buds close to ground in early spring.
