blissful, polish spirit is very agressive and provides quick coverage.
paul farges is the fastest covering small white flowered clem. it blooms earlier than terniflora and longer, the blooms as a little bigger than the terniflora and a creamy yellowish white. it gives fantastic coverage, and stems should be thicker than a pencil in first year, and eventually an half inch thick or more.
both love sun, but vitacella polish sp can take some shade, i'd put paul farges, as i have her, in full sun for maximim blooms and lush foliage.
here is a view of paul farges. this plant i actually moved after 3 years, as it was just too vigorous for the original spot i put it in. i have layered many as gifts for people (it is not a trademarked or registered cultivar, more of a species)
