Description
Note: All of our 1 gallon size Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants
Winner of the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, and one of the easiest to grow and most popular Clematis around the world, 'Warsaw Nike' features abundant, extremely showy, 5 to 7 inch diameter flowers with velvety, deep purple-red petals surrounding a tuft of creamy yellow stamens. The flowers begin to appear profusely in late spring to early summer reblooming in late summer to early fall and are magnets to hummingbirds! Warsaw Nike is more shade tolerant than other Clematis and will also adapt to poor soils. Climbing up to 12 feet high, it is ideal for growing on a trellis or tall obelisk, arches and poles, fences or rails or on arbors or pergolas and other structures.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 8 to 12 feet high and spreading 2 to 4 feet or more in width, the Warsaw Nike Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises and obelisks, arches and poles, mailbox and lamp posts, arbors and pergolas, and other other structures its vines can twine around. Excellent on a trellis or obelisk in large pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers and hummingbirds visiting them can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 2
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.
An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
