Clematis 'Edda' (Evipo074)

This is a terrific, compact Clematis with plenty of flowers (5-10cm). The lilac petals have a coy, magenta blush and abound from spring to late summer. It has excellent rebloom with the new stems forming even as the first are beginning to fade.

Just in case you needed proof that good things come in small packages, Dwarf Clematis offer full sized flowers on pint sized plants. They are effortless in gardens or pots/hanging baskets and offer a myriad of garden options.

Clematis ‘Edda (Evipo074)’ is pruning group 3, so when the flowers finish, simply prune to around 30cm.

As a rule of thumb, Clematis tend grow well where Roses grow well. They are also excellent in combination. You can use similar colours for a lovely blend or create some drama with complimentary shades. In fact, Clematis intermingle well with many plants – trees and shrubs especially as they can be used for climbing in a beautiful symbiosis. They are so versatile, you can even grow them in pots.

The old saying is to plant your Clematis so their ‘head’ is in the sun and their ‘feet’ are in the shade. In other words, they like their root zone to be cool and protected while their tendrils enjoy the sunshine. In exposed positions this can be achieved with mulch and or by using other plants to shield the roots from the sun. The plant should be allowed to grow up into a sunny position.

Clematis can be trained to grow on a trellis, fence, through trees and shrubs, along pergolas or any where you like! They will need something a centimetre or less to twine around in order to climb. They are so versatile, you can even use them as a ground cover.

To perform at their best, Clematis should be fertilised well. Use a Rose Fertiliser every three months or so when they are actively growing.
Grow Clematis in humus rich, moist, well drained soil. They need good drainage or the roots will rot. Plant Clematis so they will receive around six hours sun a day and shield from the hot afternoon rays. You can even choose to grow your Clematis in pots. The longer they have to establish, the more generous they will become.
