Clematis 'Mrs.George Jackman'

Overview & Features

• Clematis ‘Mrs. George Jackman’ is a large-flowered deciduous climber known for its elegant creamy-white blooms.

• Produces broad, open flowers with prominent dark reddish-brown stamens.

• Main flowering occurs in early to mid-summer, often followed by a lighter second flush later in the season.

• Flowers can reach 12–15 cm across.

• Mid-green foliage provides a fresh backdrop to the pale blooms.

• Typically grows to 2.5–3 metres in height.

• Ideal for trellis, arches, obelisks, and pergolas.

• Attractive to bees and other pollinators.

This variety is valued for its refined colouring and reliable summer display.

Planting & Positioning

• Plant in full sun or partial shade.

• Best flower colour is maintained when protected from intense midday sun.

• Prefers fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil.

• Improve soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.

• Avoid heavy, waterlogged conditions.

• Dig a hole twice as wide as the rootball and slightly deeper.

• Plant 5–8 cm deeper than it was in the pot to encourage strong root development.

• Angle towards its support structure when planting.

• Provide sturdy support such as trellis, wires, or obelisks.

Clematis performs best with cool, shaded roots and sun on upper growth.

Watering, Feeding & Flowering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.

• Keep soil evenly moist during dry spells.

• Once established, plants are moderately drought tolerant.

• Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to encourage strong flowering.

• Apply compost annually to maintain soil fertility.

• Flowering typically occurs from early to mid-summer, with a possible second flush.

• Deadheading may encourage additional blooms.

Consistent moisture during active growth supports larger flowers.

Pruning, Maintenance & General Care

• Belongs to Pruning Group 2.

• In late winter or early spring, remove dead or weak stems and lightly shape the plant.

• After the first flush of flowers, trim lightly to encourage repeat blooming.

• Avoid heavy pruning, as early flowers form on previous year’s growth.

• Tie in new shoots to supports as they develop.

• Mulch annually to conserve moisture and keep roots cool.

• Generally hardy and low maintenance once established.

With partial shade, fertile soil, and proper support, Clematis ‘Mrs. George Jackman’ will provide elegant white blooms and dependable summer performance year after year
