It&#8217;s a wonderful jackmanii that is covered with deep purple blooms in the spring.  Its leaves were loosing their dark glossy green color.  I did some research on-line and decided that it needed chelated iron.  I found a source and gave it a dose and the leaves looked better the following year.<br \/>\nWe repeated that scenario, but this time the plant began to look really sickly.  I read further and found that there was something contagious going on.  I decided that I was going to give it one more shot before planting something else in that spot.  I cut the canes to the ground and disposed of them.  I pretty much figured that would kill the plant off, but I was very surprised to see it growing this spring.<br \/>\nI started my day in the gardens by creating guidelines for the clematis, to help it up and over the arbor. I used hemp twine, anchored on either side of the plant,  and wrapped around one of the upper horizontal bars.  I used one more length of twine to keep the plant upright, until it grabs onto the vertical lines on its own.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blog%20Clematis%205-6-07.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/arrrgh\/Blog%20Clematis%205-6-07.JPG\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><br \/>\nI have high hopes for this plant.
