Double spring flowers, then a second wave

Clematis ‘Piilu’ is a compact early large-flowered clematis with a spring flush that often opens double or semi-double, followed by single blooms later in the season. The colour sits in the pink-lilac range with a stronger stripe through the centre, giving each flower extra definition on the support.

It typically grows to 1.5-2.5 m tall with an ultimate spread around 0.5-1 m, so it fits smaller trellises, obelisks, and container supports. In containers, growth stays smaller and slower than in open ground, which helps keep the flowering zone close to seating areas and paths.

Why the first flowers are different

The earliest flowers form on the mature framework carried over from the previous season, which is why they can be fuller and more layered. Later blooms are produced on newer growth and are usually single. This is one of the reasons pruning group 2 clematis is a balancing act: keeping enough older stems for the spring show while still encouraging new shoots for summer flowering.

Quick growing snapshot

  • Flowering: Spring flush (often fuller) with a lighter repeat later
  • Eventual size: Around 1.5-2.5 m tall, 0.5-1 m wide
  • Light: Sun to part shade
  • Soil: Moisture-retentive, well-drained; neutral to alkaline pH
  • Pruning group: Group 2

How to place Clematis ‘Piilu’

Sun to part shade works well. Morning sun with a little protection later in the day supports strong flowering without pushing the plant into heat stress during peak summer. Like most climbing clematis, it benefits from a cooler base: mulch around the crown and let low planting shade the soil surface.

On walls, position the root area away from the base so rainfall can reach it. A planting position that stays evenly moist, with fewer swings between wet and dry, helps the plant keep producing buds over a long season.

Soil structure, pH, and planting depth

Clematis ‘Piilu’ grows best in deep, fertile soil that holds moisture while draining freely. Aim for a moisture-retentive, well-drained profile by mixing organic matter through the planting area. This cultivar prefers neutral to alkaline soils, and it is less fussy about pH than about soil structure and consistent moisture.

Set the crown a little below the final soil level to encourage shoots from below ground. That supports a fuller plant and provides a backup if a stem is damaged. Finish with a mulch layer to keep the root zone stable through summer.

Training on a small support

‘Piilu’ climbs by twisting leaf stalks around thin supports. A narrow trellis, an obelisk, or wires on a wall all suit it. Start tying-in early so stems are spaced out. A more open framework improves airflow and spreads flowers over a wider area.

Because the spread is usually under 1 m, it is also a good candidate for growing up through shrubs with an open habit, provided the clematis can reach light above the shrub canopy. In pots, a single obelisk keeps the plant tidy and easy to manage.

Underplanting is useful with ‘Piilu’. A shallow-rooted groundcover or low perennial shades the soil and also hides the lower stems once the clematis is in full growth, giving a cleaner, more intentional look on small supports.

Pruning group 2: keeping both flowering phases

Clematis ‘Piilu’ is pruning group 2. In late winter, tidy the plant by removing dead stems and shortening remaining shoots to strong buds. This preserves older wood that carries the earliest flowers. After the first flush, a lighter trim can encourage fresh flowering growth for later in the season and keeps the plant neat on the support.

If the plant becomes bare at the base over time, lowering the framework gradually over two seasons helps rebuild flowering closer to the ground without sacrificing an entire year of bloom.

Watering, feeding, and container care

Even moisture supports repeat flowering. Water deeply during dry spells so the full root zone is wetted, then let the surface dry slightly between waterings. Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser and refresh mulch with compost. In containers, a measured feed schedule is helpful because nutrients wash through the pot more quickly.

Pot plants also appreciate a stable, weighted container to reduce wind-rock. A pot around 45 cm deep and wide gives the roots a moisture reserve, especially when the plant is trained up a tall obelisk. In summer, the top layer dries faster than in the ground, so check moisture often enough that the root ball never dries hard. In winter, place the pot in a sheltered corner and insulate the container so the root zone stays more stable during cold snaps. Even though this cultivar is very hardy, containers experience sharper temperature swings than ground soil.

Problem patterns and simple responses

Clematis wilt can appear during periods of rapid growth. Plants with multiple basal shoots recover more readily, which is one reason planting slightly deeper is helpful. Aphids can gather on soft tips; a water spray and beneficial insects often keeps numbers low. Powdery mildew is more likely when the plant is dry-stressed or crowded, so consistent watering and a lightly thinned framework supports healthier growth.

Clematis sap can irritate skin, particularly during pruning and tying-in. Gloves keep handling comfortable.

Clematis ‘Piilu’ suits small spaces that still want a “main event” flower. Give it a cool root zone, prune with a light touch, and enjoy the two-stage flowering season. It stays easy to manage.

Nice Matcha
Flavor Name: Ceremony Matcha-1.06oz
The flavor of this is very smooth and not bitter like some other matchas I’ve tried in the past. It’s very easy to incorporate into water and tastes amazing with soy milk and strawberry syrup. I’d say this is very fresh tasting and smelling. I did have consistent energy throughout the day with no crash which is a plus. Only warning is be very careful because the tin and product are very light I accidentally knocked it over the first day I had it and half the matcha fell onto the floor and was wasted. I’ve now learned to be very slow around it so I don’t drop it again.

REVIEW FROM A NON-BEGINNER HERE
Flavor Name: Ceremony Matcha-1.06oz, Flavor Name: Ceremony Matcha-1.06oz
I’ve been drinking matcha for years and I’m very particular with the quality and how I make it. I’ve tried many matchas, so I hope my review helps you. Would I buy again? - Yes. This matcha is great for someone who likes quality matcha without spending too much money. I would drink this as my daily matcha. - I can taste the difference between this matcha and a more expensive one, but I’d say this (price point aside) is about 90% in quality, taste, and experience if the expensive ones are 100%. Price: $12.59 after tax for 30g (bought on sale) Packaging: - Tin foil seal with pull tab, matcha loose in container, no bag inside of container - Comes with a rubber piece to keep matcha sealed after opening, very nice - Comes with a small metal spoon? - Top and bottom pieces separate from main container but don’t seem to have a function (see picture) Matcha: - In comparison to other high end matchas, this seems ever so slightly more coarse ground but doesn’t seem to have an effect on experience (no grainy feel) - the flavor has slightly less “matcha flavor” but for the price point, it exceeds my expectations, may just have to increase the ratio of matcha - Color: vibrant green, not dull oxidized color like some low end matchas - Mouth feel: Nice buttery and smooth - Caffeine: I am unfortunately not sensitive to caffeine so I can’t speak on the topic How I make my matcha lattes (so you can check my credentials or learn how to make as a beginner getting into matcha): 1. Heat water to 175°F/80°C, soak bamboo whisk for 5 minutes before using to soften the bristles 2. Two scoops of matcha (≈2g) with bamboo scoop (not provided with this product) into matcha bowl through a sieve (if you have one) 3. Slowly pour water into bowl, about 2oz/60ml 4. Use the whisk to gently swirl the matcha so that there is no dry powder left 5. Whisk vigorously in a “W” shape for 20 seconds (careful not to press the whisk into the bottom of bowl, it’s fragile) 6. Bring the whisk to the surface of the matcha and gently whisk in a “W” shape until the bubbles are broken up into smaller ones, aka “microfoam”, about 10 seconds 7. Finish up by swirling the matcha with the whisk in a gentle circle shape, leaving a small peak of foam in the middle as you pull the whisk from the surface. 8. (Optional) Combine with ice, milk (I use half and half, about 8oz), and sweetener to make a latte (add the sweetener after it’s in the glass so that you don’t expose sugar to the whisk) 9. Rinse matcha whisk and bowl with hot water, place whisk carefully back on holder, making sure not to snag any bristles For beginners: - Don’t use boiling water, it will burn the matcha and cause the flavor to suffer - BE SO GENTLE WITH THE WHISK PLEASE, and make sure you soak it before hand or it will be more prone to breakage - Get a whisk holder. The whisk will be prone to mold if stored upside down (bristles up) - When soaking the whisk, there should be a faint line about 1 cm down from the string binding, that’s where the water line should be. Don’t submerge the binding area or it will be more brittle and prone to mold. - A sieve is a worthwhile investment for a smooth matcha experience - All matchas naturally oxidize, so use within 1-3 months for a good experience, it’s not a feature of bad quality matcha, it’s just how all matcha is - Color matters. If it’s dull, that means it is old or bad quality, bright vibrant green is what you’re looking for - It’s normal for matcha to “settle” on the bottom of the glass after sitting for a while, just give it a swirl to remix it I wish you all luck on your matcha journey! If you’re a beginner, there’s a lot to learn, but it’s so worth it!

Amazing tasting ceremonial grade Matcha! Coming from a Matcha latte enthusiast!!!
Flavor Name: Ceremony Matcha-1.06oz, Flavor Name: Ceremony Matcha-1.06oz
This is one of the most amazing tasting Matcha powders I have ever purchased! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Matcha lattes! It was very fresh and had a great taste. The price was reasonable for the amount. It’s cheaper than two large Matcha latte at any café. The color was also a nice very deep green color. The canister it comes in was very sturdy and did not break in travel. Overall, I highly recommend this ceremonial grade matcha!!!
