It flowers in late spring and reblooms in late summer, climbing trellises and arbors on a zone 4-hardy vine. As with all clematis, it wants its top in the sun and its roots in cool shade. Whether you're framing a porch in Edina, brightening a fence line in Maple Grove, or climbing an obelisk in Woodbury — Bees Jubilee delivers big, romantic color to zone 4b–5a yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBees Jubilee Clematis Plant Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mce-item-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eClematis\u003c\/em\u003e 'Bees Jubilee'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeciduous flowering climbing vine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6–8 feet (with support)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade (6+ hours for best bloom); keep the roots cool and shaded.
