Clematis x Jackmanii is an extremely popular variety. Wonderfully vigorous, it produces masses of sumptuous blooms throughout the summer. The velvety flowers are deep violet-purple with beautiful cream and wine-red anthers at the centre. It's a really versatile plant that copes brilliantly on a north facing wall or in a container.

Great for your garden:
It looks wonderful when trained over a trellis or pergola, and because of its vigour can also be encouraged to climb up through trees.
Because it is so tolerant of shade, it makes it a great choice for a tricky area of the garden where other climbers may struggle. It is also suitable for growing in a container and can make a wonderful addition to a patio or balcony.
This is the first large flowered hybrid to be introduced here in Britain, in 1862. It was bred by the legendary nurseryman George Jackman from C. x diversifolia Hendersonii (which is a hybrid of C. integrifolia and the wild, red form of C. viticella), and C. lanuginosa, which originated in China. There was a bit of spat in 1912 when William Robinson accused the variety of being a wild Japanese species, and while that does not seem to hold water, it is fair to say that the Jackmanii in cultivation today do not match the descriptions and drawings in the 1872 book by Moore and Jackman himself, The Clematis as a Garden Flower, as noted by the Dutch breeder, Wim Snoeijer.
It quickly became one of the most popular Clematis on the market, which it remains to this day.
