Clematis Jackmanii Superba
Clematis Jackmanii is one of the most well known clematis varieties. It was introduced in 1862 and the first late large-flowered hybrid clematis available to gardeners. The violet-purple flowering vine was named after the nurseryman George Jackman. Mr Jackman created the clematis hybrid by crossing it between clematis lanuginosa, clematis viticella, and clematis × hendersonii in 1858.
The dependable and hardy Jackmanii is still grown today as one of the most popular varieties. Jackmanii Superba Clematis is a newer improved version of the original Jackmanii, and has been bred for more attractive flower petals that are a deeper purple color than the original. The flowers will change from deep purple to a lighter lavender or violet color as the flowers get older.
