Description
Clematis 'Pistachio Cake' is a Polish variety of clematis with charming flowers both in shape and in their pink and green colour. They are fairly flat, semi-double to double, with a chartreuse green centre, while the petal edges are pale-pink and the tips are a pink-red colour. This clematis blooms from May to June. Its moderate growth allows it to be planted not only in the garden but also in a large pot on a patio or balcony.
The clematis genus belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. 'Pistachio Cake' is a horticultural variety obtained in Poland by Szczepan Marczyński. It is the result of cross-breeding between the cultivars C. 'Innocent Blush' and C. 'Pink beauty'. It belongs to the group of early-flowering clematis with large flowers. It blooms in May and June. It is a woody climbing perennial plant with short stems, reaching a height of 1.5 to 2m (5 to 7ft), with a spread of 1m². Each spring, a multitude of stems emerge from its base.
This clematis bears 13cm (5in) diameter flowers, which are fairly flat and semi-double to double. The numerous petals, overlapping each other, are slightly undulate and pointed. The centre is chartreuse green, with a group of pale green to yellow filaments and pale-yellow anthers. The edges are pink with a touch of red. The bisexual flowers are either solitary or grouped in cymes. The deciduous leaves are simple, bright green, and cordate. This clematis clings to support or host plants through petioles transformed into tendrils.
Clematis 'Pistachio Cake' can be planted alone in a pot or in open ground to cover a trellis or a teepee. Plant other climbing plants alongside it, with smaller and more understated flowers to avoid overwhelming the scene. Choose small climbing roses with single-coloured pink flowers like Siluetta Lavender or 'Starlet Rose Alina' for example. Plant it among foliage plants like Fargesia bamboo or small trees with staggered flowering like ornamental apple trees. This clematis with its soft and pastel colours and intricate flowers exudes a romantic atmosphere. Give it a prominent or regularly frequented spot to fully enjoy its beautiful flowers.

Planting and care
Ideally, plant it in the sun, in fertile, humus-bearing, well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile for example). Herbaceous species prefer full sun and wilt in overly moist soil.
Plant by covering the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil, in 20cm (8in) worked soil, lightened with good compost. During the first few weeks, water regularly but be careful of stagnant water, as it can cause collar rot. Cover the base of climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, reducing the risk of wilting while promoting vigorous shoots from the stump. After planting, cut back the stems of deciduous climbing clematis to about 30cm (12in) above a nice pair of buds. Mulch in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without tightening, until the plant can grip on its own. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants.
This variety flowers on previous year's growth, so lightly prune it in March (a simple cleaning is enough). After spring flowering, cut back half of all the branches to encourage strong branching and the formation of new shoots that will produce a second flowering during the summer season. It is possible to cut the clematis back up to 60cm (24in) from the ground. Only prune severely to rejuvenate your clematis every 4 or 5 years. Clematis can be attacked by voles and grey worms, which can devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential parasites.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
