About the Clematis -
Jackmanii :
The Clematis ‘Jackman’,
Clematis x jackmanii, is the
best blooming Clematis in
its family. With dark purple
flowers that bloom in July,
it ranges in height of 7-10’
and has a spread of 3’. The
foliage is dark green and
makes a great contrast with
the flower color. Clematis
prefers full sun but will
tolerate shade in the
morning in a well-drained
area.
It is best to avoid heavy
pruning on this perennial
until it is fully
established. Clematis
‘Jackmanii’ needs a
supporting structure to grow
properly but will also grow
over large shrubs. The tops
of Clematis prefer full sun
while their roots prefer a
cool, shady area. It is best
to heavily mulch the root
zone to provide this cool,
shady area
