Beautiful plant received that I almost lost because it was completely devoured in one night by snails. It has recovered well (with ferramol at the base) and rewarded me with a beautiful bloom in September. The colour is superb.

Description
Clematis 'Warszawska Nike' is a Polish creation dating back to 1966, derived from the excellent C. jackmanii. It is a particularly floriferous variety, of modest size but vigorous and easy to grow. It produces a profusion of large, single flowers with a velvety appearance, displaying a rich and deep purple colour tinged with violet, contrasting with a beautiful yellow stamen centre that can be seen from afar. This beautiful clematis will enthusiastically climb any support in the garden. It can also be planted in a pot with a trellis on a patio or balcony.
Clematis 'Warszawska Nike' is a horticultural creation attributed to the famous Polish breeder Stefan Franczak, renowned for his disease-resistant clematis. Bred in 1966, it was introduced to the market in 1986. This variety was awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society in England in 2002 and received a gold medal at Plantarium in the Netherlands in 1990. It inherited from C. jackmanii its floribundity and robustness. All these plants belong to the Ranunculaceae family. It is a Group 3 clematis, whose large flowers bloom almost throughout summer on the current year's growth. Clematis attach themselves to their support using petioles transformed into tendrils.
'Warszawska Nike' is a climbing plant with a woody base. It is well-branched with deciduous foliage. It grows rapidly and vigorously, reaching a height of 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft), with a spread of about 1m (3ft). This superb cultivar produces magnificent star-shaped single flowers with 6 (sometimes 8) petals, measuring 12 to 15cm (5 to 6in) in diameter. The flowering appears mainly at the top of the plant if it is not pruned. Otherwise, its foliage is almost completely hidden under an avalanche of velvety flowers, which boast a dark purple shade on the outside and a slightly silvery reverse. A beautiful yellow stamen heart is displayed in the centre. This abundant and luxurious flowering displays a rich colour harmony.
Summer-flowering clematis are quintessential climbers that never become invasive. They can be used in many ways. Emblematic plants of English gardens, clematis provide a romantic, natural, and wild touch to the garden. They will be perfect companions for climbing or rambling roses. They are ideal for adorning walls, trellises, pergolas, arches, and fences. You can also plant them in trees, shrubs, or hedges, to accompany their flowering, extend it or bring colour to their foliage. Compact clematis are also excellent candidates for container gardening, to animate a balcony or patio. It is wise to avoid excessively sunny locations, both in pots and in the ground. The 'Warszawska Nike' variety will be beautiful when planted with a white climbing or rambling rose such as 'Francis Lester', a Japanese maple, bamboo, ceanothus, althea, wisteria, or Chinese lilac. Use medium-height perennials, such as epimedium, daylily, hellebore, iris, or phlox, to shade its base.

Planting and care
It is a perfectly hardy and robust variety. It enjoys a sunny exposure, but will also grow in partial shade. It prefers fertile, humus-rich, moist, and well-drained soil. Clematis like to grow towards the sun, with their roots in the shade. It is therefore essential that the base of its stem and its roots are in the shade. For this, an inclined flat tile will provide the necessary shade. Similarly, a bushy perennial plant or a low-growing bush planted in front of the clematis will also provide perfect protection against the sun, attractively concealing the base of the clematis. When planting, take care when handling the root ball as clematis roots are quite fragile.
Work the soil deeply, and incorporate compost and a handful of bone meal or dried blood (base fertiliser will benefit growth). Water regularly and generously during the first few weeks. Its main enemy is humidity, so the soil should never be waterlogged. Overly wet soil can cause wilting of stems and leaves, often resulting in death. The plant should be placed in the hole at an angle, with the stem oriented towards the support it will climb. Cover with soil, creating a small mound to fully cover the base and stem to reduce the risk of wilting and encourage vigorous shoots from the base. After planting, prune the stem to 30 to 40cm (12 to 16in) above a pair of healthy buds. Train the stems without squeezing them until the plant can cling to the support itself using its voluble petioles.
Mulch in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
