Growing Westerplatte Clematis

Like all clematis, it prefers cool roots while its head is in full sun or part shade. It thrives in alkaline to neutral, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Water well after planting and keep soil moist during dry weather for the first few growing seasons.

Support by tying into wires or trellis. 

Did You Know?

Bred in 1994 by Brother Stefan Franczak in Poland. The official start of World War 2 is September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, and the first event of that invasion was the battle of Westerplatte, a peninsula in the Bay of Gdańsk (Danzig in those days). The Polish garrison there was expected to be overrun within half a day, but they held out for a little over six, by which time Warsaw was under direct assault.
