A compact, deciduous clematis known for its stunning display of velvety, reddish-purple single flowers, up to 18cm (7in) across. Each bloom features six to eight overlapping, gently scalloped sepals with a silvery underside, highlighted by bright yellow stamens.

Clematis 'Warszawska Nike' flowers from mid to late summer, adding vibrant colour to fences, walls, or trellises. Perfect for small gardens, this RHS award-winning climber thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with roots kept cool and shaded. Ideal for vertical accents or containers, it brings elegance seasonal interest to any space.

Garden care:

Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.

However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.

In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser.

To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
