    Although pruning isn't essential, you can give them a trim after flowering to maintain their shape.

  • 
    Moist soil

    She likes well draining but moisture retentive soil and hates to dry out completely, so give her a little drink if it hasn't rained in a while. Climbing walls is thirsty work.

  • 
    Partial shade

    Beth likes to keep her roots cool. She'll give the best coloured blooms in partial shade (full sun will bleach the flowers). A spot with morning or evening sun is perfect.

• About Clematis ‘Multi Pink’

  Top tip

  Give your plant a regular spritz with bug control spray to protect it against aphids, which love sucking the sap out of its juicy green leaves.  

  About Clematis ‘Multi Pink’This showy Clematis will pack a punch. Known for its full petalled, pink flowers that kick off from early summer through to late autumn, it’s a fast growing climber that can get as high as three metres, making it great for covering walls, a trellis and fences. Whether you plant ‘Multi Pink’ in the ground or in a pot, it will need some support in order to get the best out of its display. When it’s young you can tie in new shoots to the frame to help it grow in the direction you want, but once it’s matured it will romp away quite happily. 

  Unlike other plants, Clematis ‘Multi Pink’ likes to be planted 5-8cm below the soil surface in order to stimulate new shoots to grow. This means if you’re growing it in a pot, the pot needs to be quite a lot wider and deeper than the rootball of your plant. This will give it plenty of room to spread its stems, giving you more flowers throughout the growing season. 

  Unlike some other Clematis that hold their leaves throughout winter, ‘Multi Pink’ is deciduous, meaning it drops its leaves and needs much less water over the colder months. You still need to water it if you’re growing it under cover though, and don’t rely completely on the rain to do the job for you, check it regularly.

  Clematis have evolved alongside certain species of butterfly, making their leaves one of the best food sources for the caterpillars of the Willow Beauty, for example.
