Difference between Polish Spirit & Jackmanii

18 years ago

in performance in your opinion. They don't seem to be described too differently. Is one a more reliable bloomer? Does one grow faster? Is one a thug? Does one have a rebloom better than the other? Can one of these really tolerate absolute full sun? Does one get bigger than the other? Is PS more of a blueish purple? PLease feel free to add anything else. =)

Thank you!

I grow both and they are both nice plants. Polish spirit in my garden gets very large and blooms for me from June till frost. I had it growing on a 14 x 14 shrub and it completely overwhelmed it. I had to move it this spring. If you grow this one make sure it has lots of room and a heavy support. Jackmanii is very nice also. For me in my garden it blooms for 6 weeks in summer. It has never gotten huge for me and is better for a smaller area. It has never rebloomed for me in my garden. They can take full sun in the PNW. Polish spirit has a little red to the tepals. Performance varies a lot with location.
