Regarded as an improved Jackmanii clematis, Clematis Jackmanii Purpurea (Late Large-Flowered Clematis) is a lovely deciduous vine bearing a profusion of extra-large, velvety plum-purple flowers, 3-5 in. across (7-12 cm), adorned with bright highlights along the midrib, and harmoniously contrasting with the golden-yellow anthers. The flowers are followed by silky seed heads. Flowering on new wood and old wood, this hardy and vigorous clematis blooms from mid-summer into fall. Easy to grow and low maintenance.

  • It thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun or part shade. Ideally, Clematis prefer having their ‘heads in the sun and their feet in the shade’. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base. Afternoon shade is appreciated in hot summer areas.
  • Quickly grows up to 6-8 ft. long (180-240 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm).
  • Excellent choice for trellis, it can be trained to climb a wall, fence or arbor and is also well suited to containers. Combines beautifully with other climbers such as Roses.
  • This Clematis belongs to the third group of Clematis – a group including Clematis which flower in late summer on growth made in that season. They should be pruned in late winter or early spring and require ‘hard pruning’: simply cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds about 1ft. (30 cm) above ground level before growth begins in early spring.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.

 

As climbers, Clematis are unsurpassed in their long flowering presence, their rich diversity of flower shapes, their wide array of colors and tolerances in terms of exposure and climate. It is no wonder they are so popular! From tree huggers to container varieties, there is a Clematis for every garden and flowers for almost every month of the year! Members of the Ranunculaceae family, they include more than 300 species and hundreds of hybrids. They create year after year a ravishing colorful show in the garden whether solely trained on walls, arbors or trellises, or grown in association with other climbers. They are divided into 3 groups which determine how they should be pruned. Regular pruning of Clematis is important as it promotes strong growth and flowering as well as a harmonious plant. If left unpruned, Clematis can turn into a mass of tangled stems with a bare base and flowers well above eye level.
