Clematis

(Clematis) Piilu

The Clematis Piilu is a compact, large-flowered climber with soft pink flowers that carry a darker pink stripe down the middle of each petal. It climbs to about 200 cm in height and spreads about 60-80 cm in width at maturity. Plant 1 per metre of trellis, fence or obelisk for a full wall of colour. It flowers generously from late spring into early summer and often gives a second flush in late summer. Perfect for patios, balconies, small gardens and large pots. Seasonal changes may affect whether the plant arrives with flowers.

Plant the Clematis in a sunny to half-shaded spot, ideally with the roots in the shade and the flowers in the sun. It prefers rich, well-draining soil that stays lightly moist and does not get waterlogged. Water regularly during dry spells, and more often when grown in a pot, as containers dry out much faster. Prune lightly in late winter by cutting back to a strong pair of buds, and trim again after the first flowering to encourage a second bloom. This clematis is fully hardy and can stay outside all winter; in a pot, protect the roots from hard frost with a layer of mulch or fleece.
