The Clematis ‘Piilu’ is one of the most charming and colorful large-flowered clematis varieties and impresses with its bicolored flowers, which look particularly elegant due to the delicate pink and the bold purple band in the middle of the flower. It often displays semi-double flowers in early summer, followed by single flowers later in the season - a natural effect that makes it particularly varied. In a practical set of 2, each in an 11 cm pot and around 40 cm high, the strong young plants immediately add a lively and playful touch to any trellis.
This variety is known for its enormous flowering and versatile color effect. It is ideal for trellises, fences, pergolas, obelisks or in combination with roses. Its harmonious interplay of vigorous growth, reliable robustness and striking two-tone flower pattern makes Piilu’ a special recommendation for any garden style, whether romantic, modern or naturalistic. The plant grows quickly, remains easy to care for and delights for many years with ever new waves of flowers.
