Jackman's clematis prefers fertile, well-drained soil. A major soil consideration in growing Jackman's clematis is to keep the soil relatively cool. If the soil gets too hot, it is bad for the vine's roots. Cooling the soil is normally done by shading the base of the clematis with other plants or with stones.
Annual pruning may also be required to keep clematis plants looking their best. Pruning clematis helps plants remain both attractive and full of flowers. The type of clematis vine grown dictates when and how it should be pruned. For example, early spring blooming varieties should be pruned back as soon as possible following their blooming but before July, as they bud on previous season’s growth.
