Description

Clematis of this variety is a shrub vine that can grow up to 3 meters in height. The plant is capable of braiding natural supports (trees, bushes), as well as curling along the walls of houses and artificial structures. Used for planting in tubs on balconies and loggias. The variety is late flowering, flowering is continuous and abundant.

Rouge Cardinal blooms continuously and profusely

Clematis leaves are small, trifoliate, pinnate, dark green in color. In one season, the plant is able to form up to 5 shoots, which lignify over time. The root system of the shrub is powerful, it can go into the soil to a depth of 1 meter.

Flowers

Clematis flowers of this variety are unusually beautiful: with burgundy or purple color, velvet. The plant is able to decorate any landscape, it looks especially impressive against a light background (for example, braiding white walls). The size of the flowers reaches 15 cm, the stamens are bright yellow, the anthers are pale purple.

Flowers have dark purple petals and yellow stamens

Clematis of this variety begin to bloom relatively late, starting from the end of June on the shoots of the current year. But the flowering period is continuous and lasts until September, at which time the bushes are literally strewn with flowers.

The plant is used for vertical gardening, planting it near the walls of houses, near gazebos and decorative arches. In one day, the shoots can grow up to 10 cm in length, quickly braiding the supports. Clematis is suitable for growing not only in the open field, but also in tubs on balconies, loggias and terraces.

Endurance

The variety is considered unpretentious and stable, but does not tolerate stagnant moisture and overheating of the soil. It is also quite frost-resistant, capable of withstanding a drop in temperature to -34 ℃ (subject to shelter).

The plant is not very susceptible to diseases, most often their occurrence is provoked by improper agricultural technology, for example, waterlogging of the soil. The most common diseases of this variety are fusarium and wilt (wilting). For the prevention of ailments, experts recommend treating the plant with fungicides. It is moderately affected by pests such as spider mites, fly or nematode. Spraying creepers with insecticides in spring and summer can save them from them.

Planting and leaving

Since the plant is perennial and can grow in one place for 15-20 years, the planting site must be chosen especially carefully. The main enemy of clematis is the wind - therefore, plants should be placed in places without drafts. Bushes love sunny open spaces (flowers grow larger with abundant light), but light partial shade is also suitable for them.

When planting seedlings, you need to use a support

With regard to the composition of the soil for planting, Clematis "Rouge Cardinal" is unpretentious, but it takes root best of all on light soils with a slightly acidic reaction. When planting, you need to remember that plants do not tolerate stagnant water and overheating of the soil, therefore, drainage should be used and the root layer of soil should be mulched.

The seedlings are placed in a pre-prepared hole about 50 x 50 x 50 cm in size.It is not recommended to place the bush close to the walls, it is better to indent about 20 cm.Since the shrub grows significantly, the distance between the plants should not be less than 1-1.5 m.

Caring for clematis requires standard agrotechnical measures: watering, pruning, fertilizing. Plants love water, so they need to be watered at least 2-3 times a week, and more often in droughts. Clematis cannot be fed during flowering, but it is appropriate to use phosphorus or potash fertilizers before it.

Trimming group

Separately, it should be said about pruning. Clematis trimming group "Rouge Cardinal" - 3, that is, the agricultural technology of the plant requires radical removal of the aerial part before wintering. In autumn, the stems are cut almost to the base, or 2-3 buds are left on each. If the site is located in a region with long and cold winters, the bushes are additionally covered. Flowers of this variety are formed on the shoots of the current year, therefore, such techniques not only do not harm the plants, but, on the contrary, stimulate the spring regrowth of shoots and contribute to an increase in flowering activity.

Agrotechnics for a representative of the variety Cardinal Vyshinsky

For the non-capricious variety of clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky, agricultural technology is quite simple, however, for the correct development and abundant flowering process, the plant needs careful care.

Fertilizers for the variety of clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky

In the first twelve months of growth, the liana has enough of those dressings that were placed in the planting hole. In the following years, the plant is fertilized starting at the beginning of the spring season.

it is easier to apply complex dressings, one to two tablespoons per container of liquid.
then they produce twice more support for the herbaceous, before and after the flowering process.
used for breeding varieties and organic fertilizer.
in the spring and autumn seasons, potash fertilizers are used.

Carrying out procedures for loosening and making a layer of mulch

The area at the root system of the herbaceous is loosened after moistening, weeds are removed and a layer of mulch is made. Acquire humus, peat and compost for these actions in the central areas. In warmer areas, wood shavings are used. A layer of mulch covers the soil and root clod from excessive heat. At the foot of the selection variety, grassy plants with low growth are planted, for shelter from sunlight: araabis, petunia and alisum.

Humidification of this representative of herbaceous crops

Moisten the breeding variety of clematis constantly and abundantly.The jet is directed exclusively at the base of the herbaceous plant, without falling on the foliage of the plant. For a young liana, ten to twenty liters are enough for a single humidification, up to forty liters are enough for adult shrubs.

Clemetis Cardinal Vyshinsky: pruning

The large-flowered variety of clematis is pruned in the second autumn month, before the winter season. Three buds are not touched, the growth of cut branches is up to thirty centimeters.

Protection for the winter season of clematis varieties Cardinal Vyshinsky

The pruned shrub of the selection variety is covered with a layer of humus mulch, covered with spruce branches or special material. It is forbidden to pour wood shavings for the winter season, the root system will be able to support.

Planting and care rules

It is preferable to plant clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky in open ground in the spring, before the buds bloom on the shoots.

The landing site must be protected from strong winds and drafts. You cannot plant clematis near the walls of buildings, near fences, sheds. The flowing rainwater can ruin the bushes of a beautiful flower, since the places where moisture collects are not suitable for Clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky.

Plants prefer light, loose and fertile soil with neutral acidity.

Clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky is planted in pits 60x60 cm in size and 60 cm deep. Drainage is placed at the bottom and the soil is mixed with compost or humus. You can also add wood ash or superphosphate. At the bottom of the planting pit, a small elevation is made from the prepared soil, on which the roots of clematis are located. This planting method develops a strong root system and healthy shoots.

Attention!

The minimum distance between bushes should be 40-50 cm.

Caring for a vine, although not difficult, requires a certain amount of effort and time.

After planting and during growth, the plant needs regular and abundant watering. It is necessary to water so that water does not get on the leaves and stem. Young bushes need 10-20 liters of water, older ones - up to 40 liters. Water the plants 1-2 times a week.

Starting in early spring, the Cardinal Vyshinsky variety needs feeding. Usually, complex fertilizers are used at the rate of 1-2 tbsp. l. for 10 liters of water. Before flowering, nitrogen fertilizing is used. In autumn, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied to the soil.

The soil around the plant must be loosened after each watering, weeds cut out and mulched. For this, humus, compost, peat and sawdust are usually used. With the help of mulching, the roots of the vines are protected from overheating.

Clematis bushes Cardinal Vyshinsky need pruning. Shoots are usually pruned in October, leaving 2-3 knots. The height of the remaining plants should not exceed 30 cm.

The final pruning is carried out before the onset of frost.

In the fall, after pruning, it is necessary to get rid of all weeds, dried and damaged shoots, burn the fallen leaves in order to avoid an outbreak of fungal diseases.

How to cover the Cardinal Vyshinsky variety for the winter is chosen depending on the region. Most often, coniferous spruce branches or straw are used. For areas with heavy winter snowfall, this is sufficient. If there is little snow in winter, you can cover the plant with agrotextile.

For shelter for the winter, it is undesirable to use sawdust. They absorb moisture in autumn, which freezes in winter. In spring, the thawing process slows down, and the roots of the plant can begin to rot from excess moisture and overheating.

Diseases and pests

Clematis variety Cardinal Vyshinsky is highly resistant to most of the most common diseases. But there is still no plant that would be immune to all diseases and pests. And this variety is no exception. The greatest danger to him is represented by diseases caused by fungi. Such diseases include the following:

powdery mildew. Symptoms are white bloom covering the leaves.The disease appears due to high humidity, overgrowing of the soil with weeds and the frequent planting of clematis.
in rare cases, Clematis Cardinal Vyshinsky may suffer from wilting, gray rot, ascochitis, alternaria, rust and septoria.
the rarest disease in clematis is a viral yellow mosaic of leaves.

It is important to keep in mind that the diseased part of the plant must be urgently removed and burned. If we talk about pests, the greatest danger can be posed by nematodes, butterflies, aphids, spider mites, slugs and snails.

All of the above insects and molluscs cause significant damage to roots and leaves. You can protect clematis with timely preventive treatment.

Optimal conditions for this hybrid, the nuances of planting and caring for it

Clematis Red Star is deservedly considered undemanding in care, but without knowledge of individual nuances, if you want to achieve long and abundant flowering, you cannot do:

The doubleness of the flowers depends on the quality of the soil. The plant will take root in almost any substrate, with the exception of sandy stony, waterlogged and saline. The stagnation of water at the roots also does not suit him. Clematis will show itself in the best way in loose and light, but at the same fertile soil - loam, sandy loam with a neutral acid-base reaction.
Another prerequisite for abundant and long-lasting flowering is good illumination. In the dense shade, few buds are formed, the flowers become smaller and fade. The minimum daylight hours are 6-8 hours.
Choose a place for clematis Red Star carefully. In addition to superficial fibrous roots growing in breadth, it forms a powerful taproot extending 1–1.5 m deep. It is impossible to transfer a plant to a new place without “losses”. It will take a year or two from the transplant.
The powerful root system also determines the size of the planting pit. Its approximate parameters are 0.5–0.6 m in depth and in diameter. In order for this clematis to develop normally, when planting several specimens, at least a meter is left between them.
Red Star does not tolerate both drought and excess moisture. But the second is more dangerous than the first. There is no clear schedule for watering clematis, focus on the weather. Usually 15–20 liters of water per week is enough for him.
Mandatory procedure is mulching. It allows not only to avoid overheating of the soil at the roots, to which the hybrid is very sensitive, but also to prevent the growth of weeds, to prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture after watering.
Frequent feeding is not needed, an excess of nutrients in the soil is harmful to the plant. Fertilizers are not applied at all during flowering.
The variety belongs to the second pruning group. The repeated flowering of Clematis Red Star is possible precisely due to the fact that the first time the buds are formed on the overwintered shoots of the last season, and the second - on the shoots of the current year. At the end of each "wave" of flowering, those shoots on which there were buds are shortened to 12-15 growth buds (about 1.5 m). Practice shows that the plant is able to "feed" 14-16 shoots. Other shoots are cut in the fall to the point of growth. At the same time, sanitary pruning is also carried out.
Clematis Red Star needs protection from frost only if the winter is predicted to be very harsh and with little snow. It is also better to cover the plants for 2-3 years after planting as a safety net.
Red Star is a hybrid. It reproduces only vegetatively - by cuttings, rooting of cuttings, dividing the bush.
To protect clematis from fungal diseases, preventive treatments are sufficient.At the beginning and end of the growing season, spray the plant and sprinkle the soil in the flower bed with a solution of any fungicide.

Breeders are not yet able to protect flowers from pests. Therefore, the main problem that a gardener growing Red Star may face is they:

Aphid. It feeds on plant juices. Insects literally stick around clematis, giving preference to young shoots and buds. Affected tissues gradually discolor, dry and die off. Pests are unpleasant for pungent odors - any spicy herbs planted nearby quite effectively scare them away from the flower bed. Any universal insecticides destroy pests - Double Effect Spark, Tanrek, Mospilan.
Root nematode. On the roots of the plant, tubercles and growths of irregular shape appear. The aerial part is slowly developing, wasting away. But this manifests itself when the infection process is already irreversible. The injured clematis can only be destroyed, the soil for disinfection must be spilled with hot water (45-50 ° C). For prophylaxis, Nemabact granules are introduced into the soil during planting.
Slugs. Molluscs eat large holes in the leaves. Effective protection against them - needles, sand, ground shells, ash, scattered at the base of the shoots. Mass raids are extremely rare. In this case, Meta and Groza preparations are used.

The lack of flowering is most often the result of mistakes in care:

landing in the shade;
unsuitable soil quality;
nutritional deficiencies;
improper watering (both excess and lack of water).

Breeding history

At the end of the 20th century, in 1983, breeders received a new clematis hybrid in the Polish Botanical Garden. It belongs to herbaceous vines, is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, the ability to survive in severe frosts and other unfavorable environmental factors. The flowers are large burgundy in color, changing saturation depending on the composition of the soil.

The new variety was named Cardinal Vyshinsky in honor of Stefan Vyshinsky, primate and metropolitan from Warsaw. It was given for its color, reminiscent of the festive attire of the high priests and other outstanding qualities. In 1990, at the quality exhibition, clematis was awarded the gold Plantarium.

Diseases and pests

Shrub clematis are rarely affected by diseases or pests. However, improper care and an unfavorable environment often cause a sharp weakening of their immunity, which provokes the development of diseases and a decrease in resistance to pests.

Often, weakened bush clematis are affected by gray rot, which develops with excessive moisture and lack of light. A characteristic feature of this disease is specific dirty brown spots with a grayish fluffy bloom that form on the leaves and shoots. Treatment of the affected plant involves the complete removal of the affected stems and foliage and thorough treatment of the bush with the drug "Fundazol". Plants located next to infected clematis are also treated with it for the purpose of prophylaxis. In case of severe damage, the diseased plant must be destroyed.

Another common disease of these flowering perennials is powdery mildew. Its specific feature is a gray-white powdery coating that covers the leaves and shoots of the bush. Treatment in this case involves the treatment of the plant with drugs "Fundazol" or "Topaz".

One of the most insidious enemies of bush clematis is the bear. This gluttonous pest, making moves in the ground, severely injures the root system of plants. Getting rid of it is not easy. For this, a set of measures is used:

setting up bait traps;
spilling the pest moves with a concentrated soap solution;
treatment of places where the bear was found with pesticides.

Many gardeners note the effectiveness of specialized preparations against the bear. One of them is Metarizin bioinsecticide.

The appearance of yellow spots and lumps of cobwebs on the leaves of clematis indicates that the plant is affected by a spider mite. Dry and hot weather creates favorable conditions for the appearance of this parasite. To get rid of the pest, the affected clematis is treated with Actellik.
