Just like TAIGA, this clematis suffered from a postal distribution error and arrived in a repackaged packaging; however, I hope to be able to get it to restart as the plants supplied by this store are perennial.

The Clematis 'Patricia Ann Fretwell'Â is a climbing plant with moderate growth and a romantic and spectacular flowering. In spring, the plant produces large flowers with a very double heart in soft pink pompoms, more or less touched with slightly deeper pink, surrounded by a wider corolla of light pink petals with a median largely tinged with raspberry pink. It reblooms in September, but with single corollas. This exuberant and charming little vine settles at the base of bushes, in hedges, but also in pots or containers to adorn the terrace or balcony.
Clematis belong to the ranunculaceae family. They are found in both hemispheres, particularly in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, North and Central America. The 'Patricia Ann Fretwell' variety, obtained in 1995 in England, is a perfectly perennial and hardy, semi-woody and climbing plant that will reach an average height of 2.50m (8ft), with a spread of at least 1.25m (4ft). It belongs to the group of large-flowered double clematis patens.
This clematis bears 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in) diameter flowers that appear on the previous year's wood in spring, in May-June, and then again on the current year's shoots, in September. The flowers are solitary or grouped in clusters and abundant. They are erect and have a wide corolla of slightly undulate tepals, tinted with red-pink in the centre. The spring flowers have a very double heart composed of numerous small soft pink tepals randomly streaked with raspberry pink. They somewhat resemble the pompoms of the 'Vyvyan Pennell' clematis, in a pink range. The flowering is followed by decorative feathery silver-grey fruits that persist until winter. The deciduous leaves are divided into small round leaflets, glabrous, of a medium green colour. This clematis clings to supports or host plants through petioles transformed into tendrils.
Plant your clematis alongside your climbing roses or vines to extend the flowering of your walls and pergolas until the end of summer. This genus is rich in diversity, with clematis in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Patricia Ann Fretwell', which loves to climb in bushes, pairs well with the white or pink flowers of lilacs, deutzias, or Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Pink Cloud'. It is interesting for providing a "second flowering" to Japanese quinces, Forsythias, and Abeliophyllum, which are a bit dull from April to October. Its pink flowers are highlighted by autumn foliage and look absolutely stunning against the large scarlet to garnet leaves of the red vine. It performs very well in a large pot. Create unusual spring bouquets by picking a few branches loaded with flowers, mixed with pink or purple peonies, double tulips 'Angelique' or 'Maureen', red, mauve or pink irises, and many other flowers from the garden.

Botanical data
The Clematis 'Patricia Ann Fretwell' will thrive in a sunny or lightly shaded position near a tree. Plant it in a fertile, humus-rich soil, especially well-drained, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). In general, clematis withers in overly moist soil and hot weather, falling victim to a terrible disease commonly known as wilt. Plant it by covering the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), lightened with good compost and coarse sand. After planting, cut back the clematis stems to about 30 cm (12in) from the base above a nice pair of buds. Water regularly during the first few weeks. However, be careful not to let the water stagnate, as this can cause a fungus to develop at the collar. Mulch all clematis plants in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant can cling to supports itself. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants. Remove dead or weak stems in March, before the vegetation resumes, and cut back all others above 2 nice buds. They will produce secondary stems that will bear lateral shoots flowering in May. Remove faded flowers. Young shoots will bloom later in the season.
After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of wilt, while promoting the emergence of vigorous shoots from the stump. Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests of clematis.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
