The best varieties of clematis

Every gardener dreams that his personal plot stands out with some extraordinary plant. It is to such an extraordinary and exotic plant that clematis can be attributed.

As you may have learned from our previous articles, clematis is a climbing garden plant that is perfect for vertical gardening of a summer cottage. Clematis will perfectly cope with the role of a hedge or decorative screen.

If we talk about the types of clematis, then they are not only climbing vines, but also shrubs or shrubs. Naturally, clematis also differ in the root system: root or core.

Clematis is not only an incredibly beautiful plant, but is also considered a rather unpretentious plant in terms of agricultural technology. If we talk about the "pluses" of this plant, then these include:

- clematis will help you close the area from unwanted glances

- he delights others

- the flower takes root well

- the plant boasts abundant flowering from early June to early October

- in case of death, has the ability to heal itself for several years

- clematis is suitable both for growing in containers and for landscaping walls, arbors, etc.

- clematis has many varieties

If we talk about the best varieties of clematis, then they differ in both shape, size, appearance (differ in color), and flowering time. Conventionally, clematis can be divided into three groups depending on the time of year when they bloom.

Clematis: groups by pruning method

— First group: blooming on last year's shoots

— Second group: blooming, both on the shoots of the last year and on the shoots of the current year

— Third group: blooming on shoots of the current year only

Clematis of the first group practically do not need pruning. Only flowers that wither and stems that begin to dry out are trimmed. This group includes such varieties as Atragena, Montana.

Clematis of this group need periodic so-called. "Rejuvenating" pruning. This pruning is done once every couple of years. "Rejuvenating" pruning consists of very low pruning of the plant. Thanks to this method, clematis will become "healthier".

Clematis of the second group need pruning in early spring 1.5 meters from the ground to strong buds. This group includes hybrid large-flowered clematis (Ashva, Piilu, President, Crimson Star, Gypsy Queen).

Clematis of the third group are the easiest to care for. The plant of this group is pruned in early spring before active growth begins. Clematis of this group are pruned to a level of 30-40 cm from the soil to strong buds. This group includes varieties Jackmani and Rekt.

Also, clematis can be divided into two groups based on the size of the flower:

- small-flowered clematis (diameter up to 10 cm)

- large-colored (more than 10 cm in diameter)

If we talk about small-flowered clematis, then, basically, they are wild-growing. They reproduce by seeds and are considered quite unpretentious to natural conditions.

Small-flowered varieties of clematis are considered as: Chinese Clematis, Alpine Clematis, Purple Clematis.

Large-flowered varieties of clematis include: Clematis Jacques, Clementis Lanuginosa, Clementis Taxenzis and others.

Large-flowered clematis are the most popular in our country. It is about the hybrid large-flowered varieties that I propose to learn more about.

Sometimes they ask - are there clematis that smell? It depends on what is considered a flavor. A pleasant smell that can be felt when you come close to the flower? There are such. On sunny, windless days, their aroma is stronger.
Clematis, grape-leafy and pungent, has a rather strong smell, but, as they say, not for everybody. Not everyone likes him.

Clematis are guests from the tropics who have taken root well in the climate of the Russian Federation. The flower is thermophilic, but in favorable conditions it can bloom profusely and beautifully. 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.
