Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Clematis Care & Maintenance
Be prepared to answer questions about your fabulous Boulevard® Chevalier™ Clematis. Please be patient with it during the first season, you'll be enthralled by its lush, bushy habit once the roots are well-established.
- Sun and Shade Balance: Loves full sun on foliage, but prefers shaded roots. Hot growing zones will find their Clematis perform better in afternoon shade/partial shade locations.
- Moist, Well-Drained Soil: Clematis prefers moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If planting in containers, use high-quality potting mix and mulch around the base to keep roots cool. Keep evenly watered, especially in containers. Avoid soggy conditions.
- Mulched Beds: Top-dress with 3-4 inches of mulch to keep the roots cool.
- Pruning Group 3: Blooms on new growth, so Chevalier™ needs a simple trimming down to knee height once a year in early spring.
- Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring.
- Support: Provide a sturdy climbing structure for these vines. Use a trellis, arbor, obelisk, or wire structure.
Help your new plant access both water and micronutrients its whole life with Nature Hills Root Booster. Our expert growers use this highly recommended formula to create life-long symbiotic support for tiny feeder roots.
