Marie - here's the compost Jackmanii before and after.

The additional growth at the far left is another clematis - no idea of the name but just might be Ernest Markham. I didn't realize it was in with Jackmanii until last year and tried to avoid cutting it down in February but I'm still hoping for blooms. The stems get too entangled and it's hard to distinguish one from the other when it's time to prune.
