| My Jackmanii Clematis |
There aren't very many perennial vines that can be grown easily in our Uinta County climate, but luckily one of our choices is clematis. I've really been enjoying my clematis the last several weeks. It took a couple of years for it to make it to the top of my lamp post in one growing season, and I really like the effect.

Clematis roots need to be kept cool and moist. I've got rock soapwort planted at the base of my clematis, and it seems to be doing
the trick. The late spring blossoms are gone by the time the clematis blooms in mid to late summer, but the foliage remains to provide the shade needed.
Jackmanii clematis is hardy to zone 3, but not all clematis are this hardy. When shopping for clematis, look for one hardy to zone 3 or 4 for success in Uinta County. Here is a link to get you started in learning how to plant and care for clematis -

If you've got a clematis in your yard and you know which type it is, make a comment on this post and let us know.

Although I've planted many clematis,only a few have proven hardy enough,one of which is "Nelly Moser" not a prolific flowering variety,but the flowers it does produce are spectacular 6-7inch light & dark pink color,also "Henrii" which has huge white flowers.I suppose the most important thing I've learned is which "pruning group" each is in.Another thing I've learned is Clematis all prefer their feet in the shade!
