Product Description

Barbara Jackman is a large flowering clematis that produces an abundance of lilac-blue flowers with deep violet stripes at the centre of each petal and creamy white anthers at the centre. A very popular choice, reaching average heights of 2.5m and spread of 100cm it's a smaller climbing clematis that can be grown in containers and is suitable for planting against a sunny wall, fence or trellis. Regular pruning will encourage strong growth and allow you to manage your clematis to the height and spread that best suits your garden. Clematis like to be planted where they can get plenty of sunlight but prefer to have their roots kept cool and shaded so at the base cover with a layer of pebbles or position behind other plants. Plant behind Astilbes, Japanese anemones or Lavender to shelter the roots with an added bonus of discouraging slugs form attacking the young shoots. Plant petunias, garlic, chives or onions nearby to deter aphids. 11cm potted plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…

Clematis are vigorous climbing plants that reach various heights and spreads. Its best to prune back to keep control over the growth annually and initially they should be tied in to help direct the new growth. Apply a liquid fertiliser each yearduring the growing season, and water regularly during hot periods.Clematis can be planted October-May in areas with good drainage and plenty of sun is preferable. Soak in a bucket of water prior to planting and plant deep enough to allow plenty of room for root development. The roots of clematis like to be keptcool so it is a good idea to plant amongst low growing shrubs or bedding plants. If planting in containers, ensure the pot is large enough to allow the roots to expand/develop, as limitation of roots will certainly impede future success.
