The
most common of the clematis vines is the clematis Jackmanii.
This clematis vine has deep, bold purple blooms that emerge
in June and last until mid August. This vine, most hardy in
zones four through eight, will grow to a height of seven to
ten feet. Pruning this clematis vine should be avoided until
the plant is fully established. This will allow for a more
robust, longer living clematis vine.
Another
popular clematis vine is the clematis carnaby. This clematis
vine hybrid has light pink blooms with a deep red bar down
the middle of each petal. The carnaby also has bold red anthers
that make it particularly striking. This clematis vine will
grow to ten feet and has a mature spread of three feet. The
blooms appear June through September.
