Sparky Pink Clematis

Sparky™ Pink is the clematis cultivar ‘Zocoro’ (USPP24642), a spring-flowering Atragene clematis with dusty rose-pink flowers. [The exact Proven Winners product page](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/clematis/sparky-pink-clematis-x) lists zones 5–8, mature height 6–8 feet, and a 2-foot spread. [Spring Meadow Nursery’s Sparky series sheet](https://springmeadownursery.com/files/resource_files/Clematis_Sparky_Series.pdf) independently names ‘Zocoro’ Sparky Pink and gives the same size. ## Flowers and habit The pinwheel-like flowers open in spring; the series sheet reports that some flowering can occur on new summer growth. This deciduous vine climbs a support and can be planted near a trellis or fence. The nursery sheet also identifies it for cut arrangements and reports butterfly attraction. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun or part sun in well-drained soil. Clematis generally performs best when its roots stay cool and shaded while the foliage receives light. The 2-foot source spread equals about 0.61 m, so the current 0.7 m numeric width is corrected to 0.6 m; the exact 24-inch label remains supported. ## Maintenance This Atragene selection flowers on old wood. Prune immediately after flowering only if needed, and keep a sturdy support in place as the vine grows.
