Clematis macropetala ‘Markham’s Pink’ is supplied as a healthy, nursery-grown plant, carefully selected for its early flowering habit, charm, and dual-season interest. Its nodding, semi-double rose-pink flowers feature delicate inner petals that create a soft, fluffy texture. The blooms appear in late spring (typically April–May), cascading gracefully to create a romantic, airy effect ideal for both classic and contemporary garden settings.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, ‘Markham’s Pink’ is celebrated for its reliability, vigour, and ornamental appeal. After flowering, it produces attractive silky seed heads that persist well into summer, extending the plant’s seasonal interest. On occasions, it surprises gardeners with a second flush of blooms, reinforcing its value as a long-season performer.
Clematis macropetala ‘Markham’s Pink’ typically grows to 1.5–2 metres in height with a spread of 0.5–1 metre, making it perfect for low walls, fences, trellises, raised beds, or patio containers. Each flower measures approximately 5–7cm across and is semi-double with nodding bell-shaped petals. The rose-pink flowers appear in late spring, with decorative silky seed heads following to provide extended interest. Hardy and deciduous, this variety thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions and requires minimal pruning (Pruning Group 1). Its compact yet vigorous habit allows it to fit beautifully in smaller spaces while creating a romantic, soft-coloured display. Ideal for training over trellises, low obelisks, walls, fences, or growing in large containers on patios and balconies.
