Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Aim for at least 4 to 6 hours of direct morning sun; this encourages the best color saturation and the heaviest bloom set. The compact nature of Edda allows it to perform beautifully in partial shade as well, though you may see fewer blooms if the light drops below four hours daily.
Soil: Clematis needs cool, moist "feet," so look for a rich, well-draining loam. If you have heavy clay, amend the planting hole deeply with compost and some coarse grit to improve drainage. For sandy soil, mix in peat moss or coir to help hold consistent moisture without becoming soggy.

Watering Requirements

During its first year, water your new Edda deeply two to three times per week, ensuring the root ball never dries out completely to encourage deep root establishment. Once mature, this clematis is quite tolerant of average conditions, but inconsistent watering will lead to smaller, less vibrant blooms and can cause undue stress. When in doubt, provide one inch of water per week, especially during the peak summer heat.

Pruning Tips

This variety produces its magnificent, continuous blooms on both old and new wood. In early spring, before active growth begins, look for healthy buds and simply remove any weak or broken stems above the strongest ones to clean up the vine. After the first heavy flush of flowers fades, give the entire plant a light 'haircut' by snipping just below the spent blooms; this rapid renewal on new wood is the key to stimulating a generous second and third round of flowers later in the season.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed your clematis in early spring as new growth emerges and again after the first big flush of blooms using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like a 10-10-10 or a dedicated rose food. Avoid applying high-nitrogen fertilizer late in the season, after mid-summer; too much nitrogen late in the year encourages tender, non-hardening foliage growth that will be highly susceptible to winter damage.

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.
