Novice needs advice: Barbara Jackman, Warsaw Nike, or...?
Comments (2)Hello LORIA, Gosh...where to start....Barbara J and Nike are group 3 pruners which means you have to cut them way back in early Spring. Do you want to fumble amongst the roses to prune? As for fading...I would not recommend ANY of the multi colored clematis. The BEST for full sun are your white ones. I have a black mailbox with a Miss Bateman-white, on one side and H.F. Young-blue, on the other. Neither one fades. I have Earnest Markham -red, Ramona -blue, and a General Sikorski-blue in full sun. Henryii is a great one for the sun...he's white. Ken Donson is excellent also. He's a blue. All of these are group 2 pruners. To be honest, all Clematis do better in the shade, but there are some good sun loving ones as well. As for size, Ken Donson, and Henryii will give you 8" blooms. The others are smaller. As for your wooden post, will you be using some sort of chicken wire wrapped around your post to allow the plant to climb? I actually have some attached to a treillis with large gaps. You aren't setting yourself up for failure. Enjoy your clematis and have fun choosing OR TWO! (:0) I hope my advice helps. TwelthSunrise....See Morewarsaw nike
Comments (3)Lovely. I had a huge one, 8 years old or so that spilled down and it was a showstopper and this year, dead. We had lots of snow, so don't get it. Anyway, replaced with Sweet Summer Love,...See MoreAnyone Have Nike?
Comments (6)Yes...it IS Warsaw Nike! I remember the sign at the nursery said 'Warsaw Nike' but on the little tag in the pot it only says 'Nike'. Thank you for the link! Do you have this clem? The link is informative but I didn't see anything about sun exposure and I'd like to plant it where it will get only a half day....actually, the bottom of the plant will be in shade but when it gets to be four feet, it will be in all sun. It's the South side but the fence blocks sun until the clems get to a certain height. I hope it will realize that the sun is there if it just keeps climbing? I love it....it looks like velvet.
