Clematis 'Evipo063'
Add a dramatic vertical element to your garden with the Boulevard® Edda™ Clematis. This showy, "nearly-dwarf" climber may stay small, but its delectably dark coloration brings a massive impact to any setting. Featuring deep purple, overlapping petals adorned with striking red-violet pinstripes, Edda™ surrounds a bright central "boss" of stamens that practically glows against the dark foliage. Designed by the legendary Raymond Evison for modern, compact spaces, this vine turns patio pots and small trellises into high-end floral displays from spring all the way through autumn.
Clematis Boulevard® Edda
$67.99
a masterclass in rich, saturated color. Each bloom is a complex arrangement of semi-double, velvety purple sepals that feature a distinct reddish-violet stripe running down the center. This charming vine offers a spectacular and continuous floral display that begins in late spring and persists through early autumn, much to the delight of local butterflies and bees. Because of its petite 3–4 foot frame, it never becomes a tangled mess, maintaining a tidy and "polite" habit year after year.
Why Choose Edda™ Clematis?
Vibrant Bicolor Depth:
The combination of deep purple and red-violet pinstripes creates a visual depth that stands out even from a distance.
True Compact Growth:
Reaching only 3 to 4 feet, it is one of the most manageable Clematis varieties ever bred, making it a "must-have" for small gardens and balconies.
Extended Reblooming Habit:
Unlike older varieties that bloom once and quit, Edda™ enjoys a heavy primary show and a reliable second flush in the early autumn.
Resilient and Pest-Resistant:
While it acts as a neon sign for pollinators, it is notably deer and rabbit resistant, making it a safe choice for open garden borders.
Landscape Versatility
The Ultimate "Pillar" for Pots:
Edda™ is a "mysterious marvel" in decorative planters. Use a small obelisk or a designer trellis to create a vertical flowering pillar for your terrace or deck.
Urban Vertical Interest:
Perfect for accenting mailbox posts, porch pillars, or small garden gates where a massive vine would be overwhelming.
Woodland Garden Contrast:
Its dark, moody purple tones create an elegant contrast when planted in dappled shade or paired with bright chartreuse foliage plants.
Low-Maintenance Borders:
Use it at the front of a garden bed where it can scramble through low-growing shrubs, adding a second layer of vertical color.
Small Space Screening:
Train it along a short fence line to create a lush, flowering screen that provides privacy without taking up much ground space.
Expert Care and Maintenance
Sunlight:
Thrives in Full Sun to Partial Shade. In hotter climates (like the Middle East), ensure the roots remain cool and shaded while the top of the plant enjoys the sun.
Root Care:
Like all members of the Boulevard® series, Edda™ loves "cool feet." Apply a thick layer of mulch or plant low-growing groundcovers at the base to keep the soil insulated.
Soil:
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Avoid areas where water tends to stand or the soil becomes waterlogged.
Pruning:
Belongs to Pruning Group 3, making it incredibly easy to maintain. In early spring, simply prune the entire plant back to a set of healthy buds about a foot above the ground. It will grow back vigorously and bloom entirely on the new wood!
Support:
Provide a climbing support structure, such as mesh netting or a wire trellis, for its leaf-petioles to grip as it scales upward.
