Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This is a sun-loving Clematis that needs at least six hours of direct sun daily for its best, most prolific bloom production. Plant the vine itself where its "head is in the sun, but its feet are in the shade," using mulch, stones, or low-growing companion plants to keep the root zone cool.
Soil: Giselle prefers a highly fertile, well-draining soil that stays consistently moist and has a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. If you are planting into heavy clay, mix in plenty of compost and a handful of garden lime to loosen the structure and ensure proper drainage, which is crucial for preventing root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply once or twice a week, allowing the hose to run slowly at the base of the plant to soak the deep root system and help establish it. Once mature, Giselle is fairly tolerant of short dry spells, but inconsistent watering will lead to small, stressed blooms. Maintain even soil moisture during the heat of summer for the best continuous performance.

Pruning Tips

Giselle™ is in Pruning Group 3, meaning it only blooms on new wood that grows in the current season, which makes care straightforward. In late winter or very early spring, before the buds swell, cut every stem back hard to a height of 12 to 18 inches, just above a strong pair of buds. This hard prune encourages robust, new stem production from the base, ensuring your compact vine flowers profusely from the ground up.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer around the root zone in early spring just as new growth begins to emerge. A second, lighter feeding after the first major flush of blooms in early summer will support the vine’s remontant, or repeat-blooming, nature. What to avoid: do not apply high-nitrogen fertilizer in late summer, as this encourages soft new growth that can be severely damaged by early frost.

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.
