Clematis 'Abilene'™, Common Name: Clematis (Type2-SL-PK), Size: 4ft., 4"" pink single, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-10, Michigan Bloom Month 5b
Can be grown in partial shade. Mine is in full sun on the south side of the house. Ruffled 4" flowers open pink then mature to lighter pink with a prominent central deep pink. Anthers are butter yellow. Raymond Evison, well-known Clematis hybridizer, developed Clematis Abilene™ for its smaller size for gardens with limited space or container growing. Works for larger gardens too. Pruning Type 2, blooms on old wood. I generally do no pruning.
