Jackson & Perkins Clematis Jackmanii

This variety belongs to Pruning Group 3, meaning it blooms on new wood. You should prune the vines back hard to about 12 to 18 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous new growth and a full display of flowers.

While it thrives in full sun, it can also tolerate partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can actually help protect the blooms and keep the roots cooler.

While it is primarily used for trellises, arbors, and fences, it can be grown in a large container provided you have a sturdy support structure for it to climb. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage and is large enough to accommodate its root system.
