Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Give this dwarf clematis at least 6 hours of direct sun daily to ensure the highest flower count and most vibrant color. It can handle partial shade, particularly in the afternoon during hot summers, but deep shade will result in leggy growth and poor blooming.
Soil: Plant in loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you are growing 'Bijou' in a container, use a high-quality potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent soggy roots.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, especially during the first growing season as the plant establishes its root system. Once established, check the soil weekly and water deeply when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Inconsistent watering often leads to stress, resulting in smaller blooms or browning leaves.

Pruning Tips

Prune this variety in early spring before new green growth begins to push out. Cut all stems back to a pair of strong, healthy buds about 6 to 12 inches above the soil line. This technique, often called a "hard prune," stimulates vigorous new growth from the base where the season's flowers will develop.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a granular rose or tomato fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears and again in mid-summer to fuel the long bloom season. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers later in the year, as they promote lush leafy growth that can distract the plant from producing flower buds.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the planting instructions for Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis?

Plant Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis in well-draining soil with roots shaded and tops in sun to partial shade. This compact variety works well in containers with a small trellis or as groundcover. Plant crown 2-3 inches deep and mulch around the base to keep roots cool.

Does Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis ship bareroot or potted?

Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis ships as a potted plant from Nature Hills, not bareroot. This ensures the root system stays protected and the vine establishes quickly in your garden. Plant after your last frost date for best results.

When does Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis bloom?

Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis blooms twice per year: late spring to early summer, then again in fall. Both flowering periods produce large, dark purple ruffled blooms. Deadhead spent flowers after the first flush to encourage the second bloom cycle.

How do I prune Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis?

Prune Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis lightly in late winter or early spring, cutting back to 12-18 inches above ground. Since it blooms twice (late spring and fall), avoid heavy pruning that removes flower buds. Simply remove dead or weak stems and shape as needed.

What soil type does Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis prefer?

Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Like most clematis, it prefers slightly alkaline to neutral pH but adapts to various soil types. Keep roots cool with mulch and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

How often should I water Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis?

Water Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis deeply once or twice weekly, providing about 1 inch of water total. Container plants need more frequent watering, especially during hot weather. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mulch around the base to retain moisture.

Is Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis resistant to common diseases?

Flora™ Bijou™ Clematis is generally disease-resistant when grown in proper conditions with good air circulation. Like most clematis, it can be susceptible to clematis wilt if stressed by poor drainage or overcrowding. Plant in well-draining soil and provide adequate spacing for best disease prevention.
