2021 Summer Garden Highlights – My Clematis

Over the years I have had one particular clematis in my back yard garden area – “Jackmanii” Clematis. It is a purple flowering vine that has faithfully shown up each year. I have several of these climbing my fence at different spots…some in shade and some in sun…all producing their beautiful blooms late June into July.

This is my oldest clematis in the backyard garden…Jackmanii Clematis…it grows along the back fence in the shade. I cut it back each spring and it rebounds beautifully.
I love how this Jackmanii Clematis is vining its way through my hanging light fixture!
Another Jackmanii Clematis vining up along a different section of the fence in between bushes of Limelight Hydrangeas
Actually there are two Jackmanii Clematis vining together behind the Limelight Hydrangeas

In the last few years I have added other types of clematis to add some vertical interest and color around the garden areas. Some are blooming well and others will take a few years to mature. Here are the ones that showed up well this summer…

A small in statue but bold in color Solidarnosc Clematis growing up a small obelisk trellis in a pot
The large deep red-purple blooms are so vivid
The Solidarnosc Clematis with more open blooms
This Crystal Fountain Clematis‘ smaller vining nature fits well on this section of the backyard fence
The Crystal Fountain Clematis is an early bloomer…the first clematis to show up in early summer
The Crystal Fountain Clematis is a beauty with its frilly blooms of iridescent lavender
The unusual bell shape of the Roguchi Clematis is an eye catcher
Each year this Roguchi Clematis is more and more prolific in its size and blooms
This year I added this extra tall trellis to the front porch for this clematis beauty…
unfortunately I do not know it name
This clematis grows straight up the trellis about 7-feet tall
Its lovely soft purple flowers create quite a show at the top of its vines

Next year there will be more clematis to show…blue Copernicus Clematis, white Henryi Clematis, pink Duchess of Albany Clematis and deep red-pink Sunset Clematis. I have them planted but they are just too young for this year’s blooming.

    Wow!!!!!! Your clematises are outstanding and so lovely. I have one that I abuse every year by not watering it. It grows about 5 ft and has a few flowers before I forget about it…some years the rabbits eat it off first.
    Your garden should be in a magazine.
