This Alpine clematis variety delights with abundant double, bell-shaped, nodding pink flowers in April and May, brightening up walls, fences, or pergolas just as the garden comes to life.

• Repeat Blooming: After the main flush, 'Imke' often rewards you with a second wave of blooms on new growth in early summer, keeping your garden vibrant for longer.
• Extended Visual Appeal: Even after flowering, attractive fluffy seed heads develop and persist through late summer into autumn, adding unique texture and interest to your outdoor space.
• Versatile Growth: This clematis climbs to 2–2.5m (6.5–8.2ft) high and spreads 1–1.5m (3.2–4.9ft), making it perfect for containers, obelisks, trellises, or scrambling through shrubs.
