Jackman Clematis - Clematis Jackmanii Zone 4-9

Stunning deep purple flowers appear from summer to early fall on this beautiful climbing vine. Clematis vines need a trellis or some kind of support to wrap themselves around since they are a non-clinging vine.

Be very careful whenever training the vine since it is very fragile and has a tendency to snap fairly easy. Plant in full to part sun. A fast grower that can quickly reach 15' tall. Remove spent blooms to promote continuous blooming.

Cut back in late winter a few inches from the ground for a cleaner look and healthier growth.
