Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This compact vine performs best with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight to produce the most prolific white blooms. While it tolerates partial shade, you may notice fewer flowers if it doesn't get enough light intensity.
Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained soil that stays consistently moist but never waterlogged. If dealing with heavy clay or sandy soil, mix in compost or organic matter to improve texture and help keep the roots cool.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the first growing season to help the extensive root system establish. Once settled, this Clematis still prefers cool, damp roots, so applying a layer of mulch is highly recommended to regulate soil moisture. Irregular watering can cause stress that results in browning leaves and flower buds dropping before they open.

Pruning Tips

You should prune this vine in late winter before new growth begins to push. Remove any dead or damaged wood and trim the remaining stems back to a pair of strong, healthy buds to tidy up the plant. This technique encourages vigorous new growth that will support the heavy flush of blooms starting in late spring.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a rose food in early spring to fuel the upcoming flower show. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially late in the season, because they promote excessive leafy growth that can reduce flower production and leave the plant vulnerable 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.
