25 Piilu Clematis Seeds Climbing Perennial Pink Flowering Vine

Clematis 'Piilu' is a stunning dwarf clematis vine known for its large pink blooms with deeper pink central bars. This variety produces semi-double flowers on old wood in early summer, followed by single blooms on new growth from midsummer to early fall.

Growing Instructions:
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours, then cold stratify in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 60-90 days. After stratification, sow seeds in seed-starting mix, lightly covering. Keep moist and warm (70-75°F). Germination may take 2-3 months. Transplant outdoors after hardening off.

Outdoors: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil. Keep roots shaded and cool (use mulch or companion plants). Provide a trellis or support for climbing. Prune group 2: light pruning after spring bloom to shape and encourage rebloom.
