Nearly countless blooms growing at your bidding, Jackmanii Clematis puts on a show all summer long. Strong vines hold so many flowers you won’t believe your eyes. Foliage is deep green and provides a tasteful backdrop for a flood of royal purple flowers that may reach nine inches across. “Queen of the Climbers” is often how Jackmanii Clematis is described and for good reason. No other clematis produces blossoms as large for as long as this variety.

Jackmanii Clematis is probably too popular for you to think of as an heirloom variety, but its history here is long and rich. It was imported from English gardens in the 1850’s. Gardeners love Jackmanii Clematis for its flexibility and reliability. Use this cultivar as a screen to block an unpleasant view, let it climb the mailbox post or drape over a stubborn stump. Jackmanii Clematis is happy to twine itself through rose bushes, dogwood trees or any number of standing shrubs. In the house, enjoy Jackmanii Clematis’s blossoms in a bowl of water, an elegant focal point for your table.
