Clematis 'Warszawska Nike'

quercus_rubur

I've had this clematis now for 4 years and it goes from strength to strength. Last year it was a mass of blooms which lasted from May to July. This year, due to the cold and wet weather it's still in bud, but there looks to be even more than previous years. I cut out all the old growth in February. I accidentally broke off a piece of new growth, so put it in a pot of compost and it's growing away happily. My soil is well drained, in full sun, and neutral.

I had this for six or seven years.It appears to have died this year. It grew well in a large pot againt a west-facing wall. I don't know if it got clematis wilt or was crowded out by a clover-like weed (with yellow flowers and red leaves, v. common). It was beautiful. I'll have to replace it. I never knew which pruning group it fell into so it received a full chop one year and a light prune another. This year I cut it right back as I thought it had wilt. It grew weakly then died.
