Happy Jack Purple displays velvety plum-purple flowers with intriguing center highlights and bright yellow stamens. This early and long-flowering beauty blooms from mid-summer into fall with large 3-5" blooms. Clematis requires a trellis or support to climb up. 

  • 6-8 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 5-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
  • Space plants 4-5 feet apart for best results
  • Produces plum-purple flowers throughout summer
  • Maintains green foliage from spring through frost
  • Blooms on old and new wood
  • Great for borders, containers, landscapes or as a focal point
  • Low-maintenance, long blooming

Care: Best in full sun or light shade, keep base and roots completely shaded. "Feet in the shade, head in the sun" is a saying you may have heard for successfully growing clematis, so plant it where the vine gets sunshine, but the roots stay cool. Requires well-drained soil. You can accomplish this with mulch, or by shading the root zone with a nearby shrub or perennial. Prune back to 2 feet in spring. Fertilize with Proven Winners® Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and midsummer.

This purple clematis typically arrives healthy with strong roots and excellent packaging. Customers said plants were "well-packed & healthy" with new growth appearing quickly. However, some shoppers received small, root-bound, or damaged plants. Most report successful growth and beautiful blooms, though plant size and condition can be inconsistent.

I not only purchased this clematis

I not only purchased this clematis, I also purchased $400 of other plantings. Everything came so small! Last year they were large and healthy. I lost at least four of the petunias.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. Please send photos of the plants to HelpDesk@ProvenWinnersDirect.com and we would be happy to help!

The Happy Jack arrived in very good shape and had strong roots. The packaging was very good and showed Proven Winners gave plant shipping a great deal of thought. These plants are going in a raised bed in October, in zone 8b, so they can winter in. They look like they should flourish come springtime.

Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy :)

I ordered and received 2 Happy Jack Clematis

I ordered and received 2 Happy Jack Clematis, the 1 gallon size. One of them was apparently older than the other and I was surprised to receive one so root-bound. The roots were so tight that I couldn't unravel them but had to make some cuts in them to free them some. It's not doing as well as the other now.

Received a healthy plant. To date, I ordered and received four different plants. Very impressed with your packing and shipment. As a first customer to online ordering (but not to Proven Winner plants), I wouldn’t hesitate to order direct again.

Thank you for sharing!! We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your plants!

For $17 each, I received small plants with broken stems and dried leaves. Not worth it. The dying plants in the clearance section in Lowes look better than what was delivered .

Plant was in great shape when it came. PW packs their plants so well. I planted it in an 18” diameter pot where it gets morning sun about 6 hours in our high desert garden zone 8b AZ with annuals around it to shade roots and it is on drip irrigation. It flowered well but when temps got above 100 it hadn’t produced any other blooms. We are in our monsoon so I hope it will begin blooming again. Our environment is very harsh here so we will see how it goes. If it doesn’t flourish it won’t be a PW plant problem but my environment and care here. I am a PW fan big time and love their plants and will continue to purchase plants from them.

Hello. Of the 3 orders I placed all items shipped well and I can't wait to get them in the ground. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 sweet Caroline are super dry and I don't think they're going to make it. Super disappointed because these where stars last year.

Thank you for sharing. We're sorry to hear this and are happy to help! Please respond to this email with photos of your plant's current conditions and we can further assist you!

I ordered a happy jack clematis and several hydrangeas ( little lime punch, fire light, mini mauvette, wee white and Incrediball ). They were all in excellent condition and I planted them as soon as I received them. All are waking up and putting on new growth ESPECIALLY the clematis. It has grown 6” in less than two weeks. Very pleased. Already have two more orders on the way.

We are so happy to hear that your plant order has arrived!! Be sure to share photos later in the season! <3
