Today, about 300 species of clematis of all kinds of colors are known, and some of the varieties are adapted to the cool conditions of the Moscow region. The article contains photos, characteristics, reviews and a description of the process of growing these flowers, as well as video tips from experienced gardeners.

Species description of clematis

Clematis grow on almost all continents in completely different conditions: in a deep forest and among the steppes, on rocky gorges and fertile river banks.Wild clematis - climbing or bush - has small flowers. Gardeners tend to cultivate hybrids with large flowers. The color of the petals can be blue, deep blue, purple, red, pink, etc. Climbing plants are especially popular. Other characteristics of clematis:

flowers are single or collected in inflorescences;
the shape of the flowers is a half-umbrella, shield or panicle;
foliage - complex (3.5 or 7 leaves), paired or simple;
root - pivotal or fibrous.

Attention! Clematis with a rod system negatively tolerate transplanting and require a permanent place on the site.

It should be understood that the first variety that comes across in the climate of the Moscow region will not grow normally. Clematis just don't like the local cool climate with short-term winter frosts. Gardeners are advised to choose plants that bloom early. Those that can form inflorescences on branches that have grown in spring.

Attention! Terry varieties of clematis with flowering on overwintered shoots will produce flowers without a fluffy coating.

Features of planting clematis in the climate of the Moscow region

In the climate of the Moscow region, clematis are usually planted in early autumn or spring, after the last night frosts. A place on the site for a shrub should be selected well-lit, without drafts. True, it is better not to plant clematis in the sun, they also do not tolerate the heat very well. Also, do not plant the plant close to a wall or fence.

The landing site should be deeply dug and loose, with good drainage. Acidity - neutral or close to that. During the growing season, starting from planting, the plant needs regular feeding. However, you should not add fresh organic matter or peat: you will only make it worse.

Advice. Damp, heavy, too saline or acidic soil is unacceptable for the culture. Clematis are planted so that in the next season they can be deepened even more by adding a little earth.

Soak the roots in water a couple of hours before starting the process. Put a small hill in the seedling hole and distribute the roots evenly over it. After planting the plant, it must be cut off. A little later, the procedure should be repeated. Also, a young plant needs a grid or lattice as a support - it will cling to it with leaf stalks and will soon decorate the site with a kind of green rug. The height of the support is about 2 m.
