🩵 Elegant Pastel Palette & Satin Petal Finish
Clematis 'Sleery' showcases magnificent large blooms clad in soft pinkish-lavender hues with luminous highlights under natural sunlight. The soft coloration is delightfully complemented by pale central bars and creamy golden stamens, adding profound depth and sophistication to your vertical landscape.

🔄 Unmatched Floral Density & Reliable Repeat Blooming
Engineered for ultimate garden performance, this cultivar explodes into a wall of color during late spring on previous year’s wood. After its glorious first display, prompt deadheading triggers a second wave of charming blooms in late summer, keeping your garden vibrant throughout the growing season.

⏳ Strong Weather Resilience & Long-Lasting Flower Quality
Designed with robust petal substance, the blossoms hold up exceptionally well against wind, light rain, and summer heat without fading prematurely. Its crisp, firm flowers maintain their refined shape for weeks both on the vine and in cut floral arrangements.
--------------------------------------
☀️ Exceptional Hardiness & Easy-Care Adaptability
Thriving across USDA zones 4 through 9, 'Sleery' exhibits superior winter cold tolerance and robust disease resistance. It adapts smoothly to various soil types provided drainage is sufficient, offering a low-maintenance solution for gardeners of all experience levels.
--------------------------------------
🚀 Ideal Compact Climber for Small Spaces & Containers
With a tidy climbing height of 5 to 8 feet, 'Sleery' is exceptionally well-suited for container gardening on balconies, sunny patios, or training along entryway obelisks and garden fences. It brings maximum floral luxury without overwhelming neighboring perennials.
--------------------------------------
🌿 Growing Note
Provide rich, well-draining soil and ensure the root zone stays cool and shaded (using mulch or shallow-rooted companion plants). Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and light liquid feed after the first flowering cycle to power the secondary autumn flush. Follow Group 2 light pruning in early spring.
