Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pruning requirements for Empress™ Clematis?
  • Empress™ Clematis requires light pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. As a Group 2 clematis with double blooms, avoid heavy cutting to preserve flower buds on old wood. Simply remove dead or weak stems and trim lightly to maintain shape within your trellis space.

When does Empress™ Clematis bloom, and will it flower in the first year?
  • Empress™ Clematis blooms from late spring through early fall with gorgeous 5-inch double pink flowers. Most clematis don't flower heavily their first year as they focus on root establishment. For best results in zones 4-9, plant yours from naturehills.com in spring and expect full blooming by the second season.

Is Empress™ Clematis hardy in cold climates, and what winter care does it need?
  • Empress™ Clematis is cold hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerating temperatures well below freezing. In colder zones, apply 2-3 inches of mulch around the base in late fall and cut stems back to 12-18 inches after the first hard frost.

How is Empress™ Clematis shipped—as bareroot or potted—and when?
  • Empress™ Clematis ships as a potted plant during the optimal planting seasons of spring and fall. This ensures the root system is well-established and ready to climb immediately after planting. Plant in zones 4-9 when soil temperatures are consistently above freezing for best establishment.

Will Empress™ Clematis survive if planted in my zone, and how do I check?
  • Empress™ Clematis thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4-9, tolerating temperatures down to -30°F. Check your zone using the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map online or contact your local extension office. Shop at Nature Hills for guaranteed zone-appropriate shipping.
