Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews
Clematis 'Piilu' is a wonderful clematis that offers all the best attriibutes of this type of climbing plant. It has flowers in a classic star shape, that are both frilled at the edges and double coloured. Down the middle of the wide sepals is a mauve pink bar that fades either side to pale pink and in the centre of the flowers is long yellow anthers. In late spring it produces double blooms and in the autumn a second flush of flowers emerge, this time as single blooms. It is suitable for both growing up fences and in patio containers with trellis, and looks great planted in obelisk planters. Height: 2m (6’). Spread: 1m (3’). Pruning group: 2.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Feed and water frequently throughout the growing season. In autumn or spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. When pruning a group 2 Clematis, remember that it flowers on new stems which develop from the previous year’s growth. In spring, remove any damaged or dead stems entirely. The remaining stems can then be pruned back to a pair of healthy buds.
Grow clematis in sunny or semi shaded borders in any moist, well drained soil. Clematis plants particularly dislike dry soils so add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve moisture retention in summer. Plant clematis with the top of the rootball positioned 7.5cm (3") below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Be sure to provide the twining stems with an appropriate support, such as trellis or wires attached to fences and pergolas. Alternatively grow clematis up freestanding plant frames in patio containers. When planting in containers, use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
