Additional Information

The Jackman Clematis is a hybrid with large, rich purple sepals that develop on new growth. The root system should be kept cool by deep soil preparation and mulching around the base. It is said that Clematis prefer "a warm top and a cool bottom". While this is generally true, provide some shade to the top portion during the day for the best results. Climbs by twining stems and clasping leaves, so it needs a trellis or wire support. Leaf spot and stem rots can be serious problems.
