Which clematis do not require special care?

Experienced gardeners recommend that you first take on clematis, which do not require special attention in order to gain experience and then grow unusual varieties.

According to breeders, the variety of clematis exceeds half a thousand. They are divided according to the pruning technique.

The first group includes buds that form on the shoots of the current season. In the second, the buds that appear on the shoots of the last growing season.

Any pruning is a good incentive for large stem formation, wide branching and an abundance of flowers.

There are three main types of clematis:

1. Herbaceous perennial, in which all stems die off at the end of the growing season
2. Half-shrub - in this species, only the top of the bush dies off, and the bottom remains for several seasons
3. Shrubs are formed lignified stems that overwinter well and do not require pruning.

Lianas are wild, large and small-flowered, climbing and bush.

The varieties used in landscaping, in personal plots, are former wild clematis.They grew in mild climates, grew well and bloomed in small inflorescences. Their colors are limited - it is white, half-tones of blue, yellow. Rarely, but red, purple small flowers with a diameter of up to four centimeters come across.

The plant impresses with its decorative effect, thanks to its beautiful dissected leaves, and at the time of flowering, the bush looks like a blossoming fire.

Clematis, well adapted for the Moscow region

In Russian regions, there are different weather conditions, so gardeners should pay attention to the unpretentious varieties of clematis for the Moscow region that have already been tested over the years. They are hardy, resistant to cold weather, temperature extremes and do not require special care.

Some of their popular names and common features:

Dates for planting seedlings, site selection

It is possible to plant a perennial liana stalk in open ground both in spring and autumn.

In latitudes with cold climatic conditions, planting is best done in spring, in early May. The landing site should be calm. Clematis loves neutral drainage soil with useful substances. The fertility of the soil can be raised with a high-quality mixture of fertilizer with phosphorus (150 gr.), Dense peat mass (1 bucket), sand (1 bucket), compost (1 bucket).

The seedling must have one good shoot and good roots. It is installed in a pit, at the bottom of which there is already drainage, then it is covered with a part of the prepared mixture and watered abundantly. When planting, you should pay attention that the root collar remains at a ten centimeter depth. The rest of the earth is then gradually filled up.

In autumn, clematis are planted in the south, the warm and mild climate conditions of such latitudes allow this to be done in September-October. In this case, a climbing perennial is planted with vegetative buds that have already appeared. The planting option is spring, but the planting hole should be covered with all the soil at once. The surface layer of the soil must be mulched with sawdust or fallen leaves. When spring comes, in order to make it easier for young shoots to break through, the soil from the hole to the depth of a finger is selected, and by the end of the growing season it returns back.

What does the care of a perennial vine contain?

Proper planting and good maintenance will ensure that any plant grows well. Clematis must be watered at least twice every ten days - two buckets for each bush. You should also loosen the soil, remove weeds from the near-trunk area.

Pruning vine shoots plays an important role in its development. It is carried out with a pruner, garden shears.

There is sanitary pruning, which is carried out at random in time. It removes damaged, dried out branches and sun-burnt areas. Autumn - requires special attention, because it affects the appearance of clematis in the new season.

Special anti-aging pruning guarantees a lush, abundant and long-lasting flowering. It consists in removing branches that are more than three years old.

Gardeners with experience in such events use the three-tiered pruning method, regardless of which group clematis belongs to. Each tier should contain three to four shoots, and their length should be left as follows:

• in the first tier - up to 150 cm
• in the second - up to 100 cm
• in the third - three buds above the surface of the earth

All other shoots are removed.

Early flowering pleases the shoots of the first tier, then the second, then the shortest ones. But clematis blooms all summer. To increase the size of the flowers and the bush does not become thick, the shoots that have finished flowering should be cut off by fifty centimeters. This procedure can be carried out until August, but not later. Liana needs to gain strength to survive the cold months.

During the formation of buds, clematis can be fed. It responds well to special flower mixes.

How does clematis reproduce?

Liana with small flowers propagates by seeds; this method is not suitable for hybrids with large flowers. They do not retain their varietal characteristics.

Experienced gardeners recommend:

Divide the bush only if it is five or more years old. The lateral part of the roots with stems is cut off with a shovel and planted separately. The bush grows quickly and blooms early

Layering in the spring. The processes that are on the side are pressed against the ground, you can fix this position with brackets. On the shoot, a powerful bud is chosen and covered with a ten-centimeter layer of soil. The branch takes root and for the coming spring it can be separated and planted as an independent bush.

Breeding by cuttings - this method is used to get more cuttings. The middle part of the length of adult, strong shoots or green or lignified cuttings are cut. The upper cut should be straight, the lower cut at an angle of 45. It should be noted that there are at least two nodes on the cuttings, then they take root in greenhouses, greenhouses, in which the required humidity and temperature are constantly maintained.

To be vaccinated, but this method is used when propagating very rare and especially valuable varieties of clematis, which cannot be grafted or divided.

How to prepare clematis for wintering?

If pruning was carried out in the fall, the base of the bush should be covered with a mound of earth up to fifteen centimeters high. The soil can be mixed with old, rotted manure, compost, ash from a tree. It is imperative to ensure that the root collar is carefully closed. Branches are removed from the lattice, neatly stacked. As soon as a constant subzero temperature is established, they should be covered with breathable materials to ventilate the bush. In regions with a harsh climate, sawdust, dry leaves, peat, and needles are poured onto the shelter from above.

In the spring, when the time of frost has passed, everything that covered the vine is removed, a little later the mound is also removed.

If the bush seems to be frozen, you should not rush to uproot, the roots can please with young shoots.

Cultivation of clematis, care, reproduction may seem like a laborious process, but you can enjoy the unique beauty of unique inflorescences, which, believe me, are worth your efforts and time!

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.
