This enchanting deciduous climber, gracing the garden with its early to late springtime display, features solitary, creamy-centred, deep blue blossoms spanning up to 7cm (2in) wide. Adorned with white stamens, these nodding flowers, opening gracefully from slender buds, transition from bell to flat or gently reflexed, unveiling a delicate inner skirt in white. As the season progresses, the divided lime green leaves beautifully complement the whimsical, fluffy seed-heads that remain, enhancing the plant's allure. A true garden gem, ‘Pamela Jackman’ is a small-flowered clematis that exudes elegance, whether cascading over pergolas, walls, or fences or intermingling with later flowering shrubs such as Rhododendron and Philadelphus.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these clematis in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
