Quick to establish, this free-flowering clematis has glorious velvety plum-purple blooms, deeper in colour at the tips and margins, but fading to dreamy-blue tones as the season progresses.
Clematis Jackmanii Purpurea has beautiful dark green foliage, which makes it perfect for contrasting with pale green and variegated leaved plants. It looks stunning scrambling through trees, shrubs and climbing roses.
How to care for Clematis Jackmanii Purpurea ('Zojapur') (PBR):
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact arund the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
