Product information

Are you looking for a climbing plant that offers extended periods of floral interest throughout the late spring and summer months? Meet Clematis ‘Piilu’, a variety celebrated for its flamboyant bicoloured flowers that provide continuous beauty from May through July.

This deciduous climber exhibits a vigorous climbing habit, creating a narrow but full and floriferous display as its green foliage transitions to lovely yellow tones in autumn. The blooms themselves shift between shades of pink, purple, and deep pink, and these flowers are known to attract pollinators such as bees into your garden space.

For the best results in a UK garden, ensure this clematis is planted in moist but well-drained soil, ideally with the base kept shaded while the top receives sun, making it perfect for training against trellises, small fences, or into containers. This reliable variety is ideal for training through shrubs and small trees, offering structure and colour where you need it most.
