Large selection in the online store of seeds and seedlings:

Clematis varieties do not have a pure red hue, only with an admixture of purple. And pure blue remains a dream as long as clematis lovers settle for varieties with a touch of purple.

Sometimes they ask if there are clematis that smell? Depending on what is considered a fragrance. A pleasant smell that can be felt when approaching the flower closely? There are such. On sunny, windless days, their fragrance is stronger.
Clematis grape-leaf and burning smell is quite strong, but, as they say, not for everyone. He is not liked by everyone.

Clematis is an amazingly beautiful plant that combines power, speed of development, lush foliage and long abundant flowering. A plant can show all its beauty and dignity if it is properly cared for.

Clematis is a famous sun lover. Planted in partial shade, he will not remind you of the "king of vines", as he is often called. Flowers will be, but small and rare. These and other points will be discussed later in this article.

Botanical description of clematis species

Clematis - clematis, vine. Buttercup families - Ranuncuiaceae Juss. The genus includes 230 species. Various types of clematis are found in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. The genus combines species of various life forms:

Clematis grows in deciduous and mixed forests, thickets of shrubs, on rocky slopes, rising to mountains up to a height of 1200 meters. This is a powerful woody vine up to 10 meters high. The stem is strongly ribbed, later fissured-furrowed, with gray-brown peeling bark.

Young shoots are hexagonal, greenish-brown, strongly pubescent at the nodes. Leaves pinnate; leaflets usually 3 - 5. They are ovate, ovate-lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, with a pointed apex and a slightly heart-shaped or rounded base. Along the edge, the leaves are large-toothed or lobed, bright green, sparsely pubescent along the veins, 3-9 cm long, 2-6 cm wide.

Known as a semi-shrub liana with stems up to 2 meters tall. The leaves are simple, ovate or pinnate. Leaf lobes 8-12 cm long, wide, heart-shaped at the base, sometimes elongated. Leaf petioles 2-5 cm long.

Flowers 8 -12 cm in diameter, mostly dark purple-blue with various shades, there are also white. Sepals 4, less often 5-6, they are thick, dense, elastic, wide open. The stamens are mostly bluish-yellow, the pistils are strongly pubescent. Blooms from June until frost.

The fruits are a rounded flat achene up to 5 mm in diameter and with a long (up to 2.5 cm) pinnate nose.

With deep planting, it is cultivated without shelter for the winter. The stems freeze to ground level every year, and in the spring powerful young shoots grow from the buds preserved in the ground, which bloom in the same year. Propagated by dividing the bush, layering, cuttings and grafting.

It is used in any design of group and single landings on lawns and on supports up to 2 meters high. Varieties with flowers of blue and white colors have been isolated from this hybrid. The most interesting of them is:

Variety "Anastasia Anisimova".

Bred by A. N. Volosenko. Stems up to 2 meters tall. Flowers 10-12 cm in diameter, wide open, sepals 6-8, rarely 4, pure blue, whitening towards the center, with a slight hint of smoky crystal. Anthers are large, bright yellow. Blooms from June until frost.

Clematis Jackmanii (Clematis Jackmanii The Moore)

It is an interspecific hybrid obtained in 1860 in England by Jacqueman from crossing woolly clematis with purple clematis, from which a large number of highly decorative varieties were bred.

Outwardly, these are woody vines with stems up to 4 meters. The stems are hexagonal, ribbed, the internodes are uniform, and the nodes are densely covered with long hairs. The leaves are unpaired pinnate, consisting of 3-5 leaflets. Leaflets from ovate to broadly ovate with a heart-shaped base, shortly lowered below, sitting on petioles up to 3 cm long.

Flowers 8-15 cm in diameter, wide-open, of various colors, collected in 3 pieces on thin, long (lo 8-12 cm) pedicels with two leaf-shaped bracts. Sepals 4, sometimes 5-6. They are oblong, broadly obovate with wavy margins, glabrous above, densely short-pubescent below.

The fruit is a large, rounded achene up to 8 mm in diameter, flat, along the edge with a thickened border and a long (up to 30 mm) pinnate nose. Blooms from June until frost.

Clematis propagates by dividing the bush, layering, woody and green cuttings, grafting and rarely seeds. To obtain seeds, it is necessary to produce artificial pollination with pollen from some wild species. Seeds germinate in 10-19 months. When propagated by seeds, strong splitting occurs without preserving the maternal form.

In winter, the shoots freeze out, so you need to make a deep landing by 10 - 12 cm. The buds of the shoots that are in the ground are preserved, and in the spring powerful young shoots grow from them.

Many highly decorative varieties with large flowers of various colors, which are close to each other, have been bred from woolly clematis.

Variety - Lawson (Lawsoniana)

Flowers pale blue

The flowers are pinkish-blue, up to 14 cm in diameter. Sepals 6 - 8.

Sort - Suite (Luks)

Liana 3 meters high. The flowers are pure saturated blue, up to 12 cm in diameter, with six regular sepals. Flowering is plentiful.

Clematis planting and care in the open field

Clematis are light-loving, moisture-loving plants. They grow best on loose, rich, neutral or alkaline soils, protected from the wind, in sunny places (in the northern regions) or in partial shade (in the southern regions).

Varietal clematis require special agricultural practices that would contribute to their full development and flowering in the open field without protection and shelter in the winter.

When planting, the first nodes of the shoots should be deepened by 8-10 cm.

The decorativeness of clematis depends on the correct pruning of their shoots. Clematis of the Jacqueman group - woolly and purple bloom well on the shoots of the current year, so in the fall the shoots should be cut to ground level.

Clematis of other groups - flowering and spreading, bloom better on the shoots of the previous year. Their shoots should be preserved, covering for the winter with woody leaves and earth.

All types of clematis reproduce well by seeds, varietal plants - by dividing the bush, layering, cuttings and grafting on pieces of the roots of wild species.

Large-flowered varietal clematis are planted in front of buildings, at the entrance to the building, under the window, in separate specimens among the lawn in parks, gardens, to decorate arches, pergolas, arbors, flower beds and robats.

It is hoped that after reading this article, your acquaintance with various varieties of clematis will continue and end with planting in open ground at their summer cottage.

Which clematis do not require special care?

According to breeders, the variety of clematis exceeds five thousand. They are separated according to the pruning method.

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 a large formation of stems, wide branching and an abundance of flowers.

There are three main types of clematis:

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

Creepers are wild, large- and small-flowered, curly and bushy.

Varieties used in landscape designs, in household plots, are former wild clematis. They grew in a mild climate, grew well and bloomed in small inflorescences. Their colors are limited - it is white, halftones of blue, yellow. Rarely, but there are red, purple small flowers with a diameter of up to four centimeters. The largest collection of them (more than two hundred species) is in the Crimean Botanical Garden.

There are clematis:

hybrid

These are well-developed lianas, perennials, shrubs. Clinging to branches, tips of leaves for any support, they grow up to three meters in length. Their inflorescences consist of single flowers up to twenty centimeters in diameter, which, after flowering, turn into fluffy rounded fruits. The plant impresses with its decorative effect, thanks to the beautiful dissected leaves, and at the time of flowering, the bush seems like a flowering fire. This species needs a windless, sunny place, a powerful support, because the weight of an already adult bush can be more than one hundred kilograms.

large-flowered

A wonderful decorative group of vines with flowers up to twenty centimeters, of various bright, saturated colors. They are most popular on homesteads, they create beautiful compositions in various landscape designs.

These groups, depending on vegetation and other significant differences, are also divided into several subgroups.

Clematis, well adapted for the Moscow region

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

Terms of planting seedlings, site selection

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

In latitudes with cold climatic conditions, landing is best done in the spring, in early May. The landing site must be windless. Clematis love neutral, with useful substances, drainage soil. The fertility of the earth 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 should 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 part of the prepared mixture and watered abundantly. When planting, you should pay attention that the root neck remains at a depth of ten centimeters. The rest of the earth then gradually falls asleep.

In autumn, clematis are planted in the south, 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 is returned back.

What does care for a perennial liana contain?

Planting according to the rules and good care will ensure excellent growth for any plant. At least twice every ten days, clematis must be watered - two buckets under each bush. You should also loosen the soil, remove weeds from the near-stem area.

Pruning vine shoots plays an important role in its development. It is carried out with the help of secateurs, garden shears.

There is sanitary pruning, which is carried out arbitrarily in time. With it, damaged, dried branches and sun-bleached areas are removed. Autumn - requires special attention, because it affects the appearance of clematis in the new season.

Special anti-aging pruning is a guarantee of lush, abundant and long 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 the 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 kidneys above the ground

All other shoots are removed.

Shoots of the first tier delight with early flowering, 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 must gain strength to survive the cold months.

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

How does clematis reproduce?

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

Divide a 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

Make layering in the spring. The processes located on the side are pressed down to the ground; this position can be fixed with brackets. On the shoot, a powerful kidney is selected and covered with a ten-centimeter layer of soil. The branch takes root and next spring it can be separated and planted as an independent bush.

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

Vaccinate, but this method is used when propagating very rare and especially valuable varieties of clematis that cannot be cut 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, wood ash. It must be ensured that the root neck is carefully closed. Branches are removed from the lattice, neatly stacked. As soon as a constant sub-zero temperature is established, they should be covered with breathable materials that provide ventilation for 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 for frost has passed, everything that covered the vine is removed, and a little later the mound is also removed.

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

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

The beautiful clematis flower has several more names, such as clematis, vine. This is a representative of buttercups.

Perennial plant, common in the subtropics of the Northern Hemisphere. There are approximately 300 species.

General information about clematis

Among the numerous representatives of clematis, there are semi-shrubs, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, although most are represented by a group of vines.

All species have one of two types of root system: taproot and fibrous. Flower shoots can develop from above-ground buds or from the underground part. The leaves can be simple or compound, usually green, sometimes purple.

Simple forms of clematis are represented by a flower filled with stamens and pistils, making the plant resemble a spider.

The hue range of the plant is diverse - from pale pink to rich red, from sky blue to deep blue, as well as snow-white and yellowish inflorescences.

Varieties of varieties

There are various classifications of lozinka. Fans classify them according to the size of the flower: small, medium and large-flowered plants. But according to the international division, clematis varieties look like this:

Group "A" - plants that bloom on the shoots of the last season (Alpina, Florida, Montana).
Group "B" - fresh and last year's shoots bloom (Lanuginosa, Patens).
Group "C" - forming flowers on the shoots of the current period (Jacqueman, Vititsella, Integrifolia).

Growing a weed

It is possible to grow this plant in several ways.

From seeds - here there is a division into groups, which is affected by the size of the seed and the duration of the germination period:

Instances with large seed sizes that take a long time and do not always germinate evenly:
Clematis with medium seeds;
Plants with small seeds that germinate quickly (from 2 weeks to 4 months)

If the seeds were collected in the current period, then they will germinate much better.

Small seeds are sown in March-April, medium-sized - after the long New Year holidays, large - at the end of a fresh harvest in the autumn-winter period.

First, the seeds are soaked in water for 10 days, then the seeds are laid out on a substrate of earth, pitch and peat and sprinkled with a layer of sand, covering with a glass plane. The temperature for germination is from 25 to 30 Celsius.

Plant seedlings must be protected from direct sunlight. When the first full-fledged leaves are formed, the plants are docked in independent containers.

When truly warm spring days come without frost, clematis is planted in the soil at intervals of at least 20 cm.

Conditions for planting clematis

The place for the permanent growth of clematis is chosen bright and protected from through air flows. The soil must be pre-fertilized and drained.

Planting clematis in open ground can take place both in spring and in autumn. An instance located in a container can be planted by any period, except for the winter.

How to plant clematis in spring is very simple. A pit is being prepared with dimensions of 60 by 60 and with the same depth. At the bottom, a drainage embankment is formed from inclusions of crushed stone, broken bricks or perlite.

To fertilize barren land, it is worth using two buckets of compost, 1 bucket of sand and peat matter, 400 grams of dolomite flour and 150 gr. superphosphate. Reliable supports are installed in the hole, the height of which reaches 250 cm.

Planting a seedling in the fall is carried out according to the same principle. The difference is that the landing site is covered with dry leaves and closed with lutrasil.

Clematis care

Clematis in its planting and care requires regular watering. Plants should be watered normally once a week. With heat - up to three times in 7 days. Up to 20 liters are poured under a young seedling, up to 40 liters under a mature one. at a time.

Plants are fed during the period of active growth with a nitrogen type of fertilizer, during budding - with potassium compounds, as soon as the flowers have faded - with a phosphorus substance.

Every spring, clematis needs to be fertilized with a mixture of chalk and dolomite flour.

flower reproduction

In addition to seeds, clematis can be propagated in the following ways:

Layering - to make them, shoots woven into bundles in autumn are laid in peat grooves, fixed and covered with a layer of peat and earth. Cover the plant for the winter. Already next autumn, these layers can be dug up and planted separately;

Separation of a large bush - you can divide a seedling younger than 6 years old, for this, clematis is removed from the ground, divided into equal parts so that each bush is provided with buds on the neck;

Pinning - in the spring, last year's sprouts are pinned into pots, which are filled with peat and earth in advance. Such containers should be placed in the earth layer. In autumn, full-fledged clematis seedlings are formed in these pots, which are ready for a subsequent transplant.

We cut the vine

Clematis pruning is carried out both at the growth stage and for the winter period. In the first A-group of clematis, only weak shoots are pruned. This is best done at the end of flowering, around June.

Pruning of the B-group is carried out at a distance of up to one meter, keeping from 2 to 5 pairs of young buds, removing weak shoots.

In the C-group, pruning is carried out in several stages during the growing season.

After flowering, clematis must be prepared for wintering. To do this, the neck should be covered with a solution of copper sulfate 2%, a bucket of humus is poured under the root and spud up to a height of 15 cm.

Dry leaves are poured on top of the plant and covered with a wooden box, covering it from above with a protective material in the form of roofing material, roofing felt or another. To prevent it from being blown away, a brick or a layer of earth is placed on top.

Photos of clematis flowers show that for proper growth and attractive appearance, this plant needs to be supported. It can be designed in the form of arches, fans, pyramids.

To do this, it is worth choosing durable materials, since an adult clematis plant has a large mass.

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 their root system: root or tap.

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

Clematis will help you close the area from unwanted looks.

He delights those around him.

The flower is doing well

The plant boasts abundant flowering from early June to early October.

In case of death, it has the ability to self-repair 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, they differ in both shape, size, appearance (they 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 last year's shoots and on current year's shoots

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

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

Clematis of this group need periodic so-called. "rejuvenating" pruning. Such pruning is carried out once every couple of years. "Rejuvenating" pruning consists of very low pruning of the plant. Thanks to this method, clematis will become more "healthy".

Clematis of the second group need pruning in early spring by 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 the start of active growth. Clematis of this group are cut to a level of 30-40 cm from the soil to strong buds. This group includes varieties Jackmani and Rekta.

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

Small-flowered clematis (diameter up to 10 cm)

Large-flowered (diameter over 10 cm)

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

Small-flowered clematis varieties such as: Chinese Clematis, Alpine Clematis, Purple Clematis.

Large-flowered varieties of clematis include: Clematis Zhakmana, Clemantis Lanuginosa, Clemantis Taxenzis and others.

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