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.
