Edda Clematis Plant

Edda is one of the shortest clematis, making it perfect for hanging baskets and containers. This free flowering beauty produces violet-blue flowers with red stripes. Edda offers a long flowering season, from June to September; however, the heaviest blooming takes place in July and August. It flowers on new wood so vines should be trimmed back to 6-12 inches in late winter / early spring. Clematis require moist soils to grow well. In northern gardens they do best in full sun but prefer lightly shaded areas in southern gardens. Bees are attracted to clematis while deer tend to avoid the plants.
