Pink Mink® Clematis

Bring a splash of vibrant, carefree color to your vertical landscape with the Pink Mink® Clematis (Clematis 'Komo'). While many Clematis varieties can be a bit "diva-ish" in the garden, Pink Mink® is a refreshing change of pace—a robust, heavy-blooming powerhouse that transforms fences, trellises, and arbors into a wall of neon-pink blossoms from early summer all the way through fall.

A Cascade of Ruffled Pink Blooms

The first thing you’ll notice about Pink Mink® is the sheer abundance of its flowers. These aren’t your average flat petals; the blooms feature a unique, shrimpy-pink hue with a darker rose-pink bar running down the center of each of the six sepals. The edges are delicately ruffled, giving the vine a soft, textural appearance that dances in the breeze. As the sun hits the petals, they catch the light, creating a shimmering effect that earns this cultivar its "Mink" moniker.

Effortless Vertical Interest

Whether you’re looking to hide an unsightly chain-link fence or add a focal point to a formal entryway, this Clematis is your go-to solution. It is a Group 3 Clematis (late-flowering), which is a fancy way of saying it’s incredibly easy to maintain. It blooms on "new wood" (this year's growth), so you don’t have to worry about complex pruning schedules. Just cut it back in late winter and watch it race toward the sky as soon as the ground warms up.

Four-Season Versatility

In the spring, Pink Mink® emerges with lush, bright green foliage that provides a dense screen even before the first buds appear. By mid-summer, the vine is smothered in 2- to 3-inch wide flowers. As the season winds down, the blooms are replaced by ornamental, feathery seed heads that persist into the winter, providing visual interest and a bit of forage for local songbirds. It’s a pollinator magnet, drawing in bees and butterflies throughout its long blooming window.
