clematis piilu

One of the prettiest, large flowering clematis. With a mixture of double, semi-double and single blooms on one plant, the first flush coming in late spring and a second round of blooms by September. Growing to around 2 metres it's an ideal size for a garden archway, trellis or pergola. Supplied in 3 litre pots.

This unusual cultivar, which is rarely seen in garden centres, is well worth growing. Clematis 'Piilu' bears opulent double blooms in late spring and a second flush of single flowers in autumn, providing two completely different displays each year. Wide sepals with a central mauve pink bar that fades out to paler pink with gently frilled margins characterise the eye-catching blooms. Because of its compact habit, this early-blooming clematis is ideal for growing in patio containers. Height: 2 m
