Description
Clematis × jackmanii is a classic woody, deciduous, twining climber introduced in the nineteenth century. Slender reddish- to gray-brown stems reach about 3–4.6 m and use leaf stalks to hold a trellis, arch or neighboring shrub. Opposite deep-green compound leaves frame abundant, open violet-purple flowers, usually with four broad colored sepals, from summer into early autumn. Copper-brown plumed seedheads follow. Plant with the crown in moist, well-drained neutral soil, give the top full sun to partial shade, and keep the roots cool with mulch or low companion plants. Prune before new spring growth. All parts are poisonous and the sap may cause contact dermatitis.
