The most popular varieties of clematis

In modern floriculture, clematis is considered one of the most popular flowers, which can perfectly fit into the design and into any flower beds. Liana is notable for its splendor, and its flowers are really incredibly beautiful and attractive. Greece is considered the birthplace of clematis, but the plant very quickly spread throughout the territory of many other countries, becoming an irreplaceable floral part of any plantings and compositions. Today, clematis is also used to decorate recreation areas. Even despite the fact that today you can find more than eight hundred of the most diverse varieties of clematis, one way or another, it is white flowers that remain the most demanded and popular. Most often, you can also find the following varieties, which are ideal for decorating landscape design and giving external attractiveness to absolutely any territories, even those that have not been so ennobled before.

Jerzy Popieluszko - the first variety of white clematis, which we will consider in this article. This bush is erect species, the leaves have a juicy dark green color. The flowers are snow-white, the perfect pure shade, which consists of eight petals. As a rule, this variety of wild clematis begins its flowering in May and stops with the onset of August. If you grow clematis of this variety at home, then flowering in terms of timing may shift slightly - it begins in June, and lasts until about September. Another feature worth paying attention to is that this plant has a second pruning group, so this aspect should always be borne in mind while observing agricultural techniques and other caring measures.

Snow Queen (The Snow Queen) - the second variety of clematis, which we will consider in this article. The stem of the plant is ideal, straight, its length can reach about three meters, if the gardener observes all the rules of agricultural technology. In this case, the inflorescences are formed not from eight sepals, as in the previous variety, but from six. They have a snowy white color, when the sepals open, the shade can change to blue.The plant begins to bloom in May and ends in September, but these periods may vary depending on the area in which the plant was planted and in what climatic conditions it grows. Also, like the previous variety, the Snow Queen variety has a second pruning group.

Fargesioides - this variety of clematis differs in that the liana turns out to be very powerful and grows strongly, so periodically this flower will need pruning and shaping, otherwise its size may completely get out of control. The leaves are juicy, dark green in color, very complex in shape and at the same time they are incredibly large. When the flower begins to bloom, a large number of creamy and white flowers form on it, which also give a very attractive, persistent, and at the same time very delicate scent. The variety belongs to the third pruning group, which distinguishes it from the two above-mentioned and characterized clematis varieties. In general, this variety is one of the most popular when choosing clematis for decorating a personal plot or when choosing clematis for creating a decorative single planting.

Summer snow - another variety of clematis, whose flowers are painted in a snow-white light shade. At the same time, when the flowers are fully revealed, the snow-white color becomes rather more creamy and beige. If the gardener observes all the rules of planting and agricultural technology, then the plant may differ in height by three meters, which is a really serious indicator, which means that the area for planting should be large enough for the plant to feel as comfortable as possible. The anthers are yellow colored, which gives the plant even more unusual and decorative effect. The variety is characterized by the fact that it is capable of producing quite abundant flowering, as a rule, it occurs in the period from early June to August, but here a lot also depends on the climatic conditions in which this variety of clematis grows. Note also that the Summer Snow variety belongs to the second pruning group.

John Paul II - this variety of clematis is truly an original decoration for any personal plot, and it is also used to decorate gazebos, terraces, fences or arches. The flowers turn out to be delicate pink, which distinguishes the variety from those that we considered and characterized a little higher. If the flower is viewed in the garden in the evening, then you can notice its truly mystical and unusual feature - at dusk, an incredibly attractive and mysterious light emanates from the flowers. At the same time, this variety of flowers perfectly adapts to those places where paniculate phlox is also planted, since from such a neighborhood both flowers feel incredibly comfortable and can show their decorative features and features in a completely new way.

Also today, a gardener can find clematis on sale, which differ from each other in the size of the inflorescences. Large-flowered clematis are completely unpretentious to care for, and they are also quite simple to grow in different climatic conditions. In particular, clematis with large flowers take root well in the middle lane, but in the south they may experience some discomfort, which affects their growth and decorative features. The most common varieties of large-flowered clematis include the following:

- arctic queen - this is a rather large bush, which in early June is gradually almost completely covered with snow-white flowers. The diameter of one flower can reach 18 centimeters - a fairly high figure when comparing this variety with many other varieties and subspecies of clematis. The plant also perfectly adapts to home conditions, but it should be borne in mind that clematis responds well to the sun and well-lit areas that are not in the wind, and which are not affected by too strong drafts. It is in comfortable conditions that you can get the most significant result in the growth and development of clematis, and it is really worth it, because the incredibly attractive and large snow-white flowers of this plant adorn personal plots, making them special

- bella - this variety is distinguished by an atypical flower shape - they resemble stars more than the clematis we are used to. The diameter of such flowers reaches fifteen centimeters, no more. In this case, the length of the shoots can be quite large - about two meters. First, buds appear on the extended liana, which have a delicate pinkish color, but when these buds finally open, you can see that they become perfect, snow-white, without tint impurities or any flaws. Clematis has a very high level of immunity and stress resistance, it is practically not attacked by pests and does not get sick. In addition, bella is a clematis variety that tolerates temperature extremes or frost perfectly, so that it can be planted even in those climatic conditions that initially seem not the most favorable. One way or another, it should be borne in mind that clematis will still need support and care, because only in this case it will be possible to achieve a perfect decorative result.

- Cassiopeia - this variety of clematis also has an atypical flower shape - they look like discs, the diameter of which reaches eighteen centimeters, no more. On last year's shoots, buds can form at the very beginning of June. If these are shoots of this year, then the formation of flowers begins much later - in July, and then it is worth considering the most favorable circumstances that this flower needs so much, even despite its relative unpretentiousness. Due to the fact that the shoot-forming ability of clematis is at an average level, it can not be cut off very often. Of course, this is an excellent incentive to purchase this particular variety and, in general, to acquire clematis in general, in order to design your personal plot thanks to clematis.

- Joan of Arc - this variety belongs to giant clematis. The plant produces very large buds, the diameter of which exceeds 20 centimeters. At the same time, they look really incredible, and can not leave indifferent literally any gardener. If the planting is carried out correctly, as well as timely care for clematis, watering and feeding it, then it will demonstrate its abundant flowering in June, early enough. At the same time, in general, it is not necessary to give the plant any special care measures, it will feel great in almost any soils in terms of composition, which should also be paid attention to. One way or another, it is worth considering several times whether the gardener wants to plant such a large flowering plant, because it will not look great in all areas if you do not take care of it or plant it next to crops that cannot be positive neighbors for clematis.

There are also small-flowered clematis. Experienced gardeners say that, in comparison with large-flowered ones, small clematis have their own charm and their own characteristics, decorativeness. The buds are very small and neat. At the same time, an incredibly attractive aroma emanates from the buds, which is also distinguished by its persistence, but at the same time unobtrusiveness and lightness. Small-flowered clematis also have a drawback, which is that such plants are not always able to cling to the installed supports on their own, so the gardener should be very careful about this and tie up clematis, and do this as timely as possible, otherwise the plant may be damaged.

Of course, there are several of the most popular small-flowered varieties of clematis that are worth paying attention to, especially for novice gardeners, because they are just in search of ideal plantings, so they will be ready for experiments and completely new colors and shapes of this plant.Among the varieties for home cultivation of clematis, it is worth highlighting such as:

- recta - this variety can create an ideal snow-white background, which can also be periodically diluted with clematis, but already of other, more colorful, bright blossoms. The shoots are almost perfectly straight, but it is worth remembering that the garter is an important aspect in caring for this variety of clematis. If the gardener skips this procedure, then there is a great risk that, due to drafts or winds, the branches simply fall, or they may break off. On the plots, clematis can grow up to 2.5 meters long, while it is important to take into account the creation of favorable conditions and pay attention to the composition of the soil: it must be very light and fertile

- clematis vitalba - flowers of this variety are cream or white, and their diameter is very miniature - a maximum of 2.5 centimeters. Usually flowering occurs at the very beginning of July, but here again it is necessary to pay attention also to the climatic conditions in which this variety grows. The shoots are not very large, do not exceed ten centimeters. The main advantage of this variety of clematis is that it tolerates the winter period perfectly and does not need any shelter for the winter. In addition, unlike many other varieties, this clematis variety can reproduce quite successfully by seed, and for many gardeners, this particular method becomes almost the most ideal and suitable, less costly both in material and temporal aspects.

Terry varieties of clematis look incredibly attractive on personal plots and in flower beds. Most often they are also chosen in order to decorate walls and fences. It is worth paying attention to the fact that for planting such clematis on your site, you should pay attention to the features and characteristics of various varieties. If the gardener carefully familiarizes himself with the characteristics, then it is highly likely that he will select exactly those varieties that will most of all meet his desires and needs. We will highlight such varieties of terry clematis as:

— isago – this variety of clematis can ideally suit those gardeners who seek to see on their site not variegated, but restrained and monochromatic flower beds. Clematis is great for decorating garden supports, as it wraps around them very quickly and looks incredibly decorative.

Only when supervised by gardeners and observing all agrotechnical requirements can the specified result be achieved and an incredibly attractive flower garden can be created.

Let's also pay attention to bush clematis. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they do not curl at all, and are obtained in the form of neat bushes. Despite this, in general, in terms of its decorative and attractive external characteristics, this subspecies of clematis is in no way inferior to many other varieties. The most popular varieties of bush clematis are:

-hakuri - this variety belongs to the whole-leaf species. In length, this clematis reaches no more than one meter. From about the end of June, you can observe how the bush is abundantly covered with white flowers that have the shape of bells, which looks incredibly cute and attractive.The leaves are slightly wavy, so they can curl from the inside, which also adds exoticism and decorativeness to the sepals. In general, with proper care, you can get an annual abundant flowering, which will certainly appeal to many gardeners who strive to decorate their site with such original plants.

- alba - this undersized bush clematis variety, which, under ideal conditions, can reach its maximum height - about eighty centimeters. Flowering begins in June and lasts until the beginning of autumn, since at this time the weather begins to change noticeably, and the plant transfers its resources to a completely different channel - it begins to prepare for winter and builds up its immunity. If the summer is too rainy, precipitation practically does not stop, then this can lead to the fact that clematis will lose its decorative properties. So, of course, you should pay attention to the choice of a place for planting, to the climatic and temperature limits in the selected area, and pay great attention to care measures, since the plants really need it very much. In the next part of the article, we will just dwell on the subtleties and general rules that relate to planting this plant and the subsequent care of it. This information will be useful to both novice gardeners and those who already have some experience in growing clematis, but they are still striving to improve their skills and abilities, which is certainly very commendable.

Clematis planting rules and care

Almost all varieties of white clematis differ in that they are incredibly resistant to frost, and in general they do not need to use any special rules for planting or subsequent care. In order for clematis to turn out to be large, healthy, stately and decorative, it is necessary from the very beginning to take care of choosing a place for planting clematis. As a rule, these plants prefer to be in partial shade or in sunny areas, but on the condition that the sun does not cause burns on the surface of the leaves. About six months before the gardener starts planting clematis in open ground, it is recommended to feed the selected area. To do this, the land on the site is carefully dug up, and substances such as humus, superphosphate and dolomite flour are added to it. Do not be afraid to mix mineral fertilizers and organic matter, since only from such a duet can plants receive all the necessary substances and trace elements, and this is really extremely important and necessary.

Further, the gardener purchases seedlings. It is best to do this in specialized nurseries or purchase from hands, but from trusted gardeners. Planting material should be carefully selected, viable and strong buds should be viewed on the shoots, which will just be a sign that the seedling is quite alive and can be purchased for planting. The root system should also be strong and voluminous, there should be absolutely no damage on it, because otherwise these damage will serve as an excellent environment for the development of bacteria and microorganisms that will provoke a variety of diseases. It is best to soak the root system in growth promoters before planting. Thus, the plant will receive additional protection, and the root system will acquire more opportunities for early adaptation and rooting.

Of course, it is worth paying attention to the planting process itself, because there are some subtleties in it, although to a greater extent it does not represent some difficult events, because of which problems for novice gardeners could arise:

- at the very beginning, the gardener digs a hole for planting. It should be 40x40x50 centimeters in size.If the gardener has decided to carry out not a single, but a group planting, then the distance between the pits must also be observed. It should be at least one and a half meters, so that when the bushes grow, they do not interfere with each other, do not touch each other and do not shade each other. At the very bottom of the pit, it is worth laying a drainage layer, its thickness should be at least five centimeters and no more than ten centimeters. Crushed stone, expanded clay or broken brick is usually used as drainage, since these substances will remove all excess moisture that can accumulate in the root system, thereby reducing the risk of dangerous diseases

- a seedling is placed in the hole, the roots are carefully straightened, the gardener makes sure not to cause any mechanical damage to the root system. A support should be installed next to the seedling, the height of which should be about two meters. The roots are covered with soil, but the hole should not be filled to the very edge. Sprinkle the soil in layers, each layer is slightly compacted so that air pockets do not appear

- planting should be completed with very generous watering with warm, settled water. the hole is also filled with mulch. Mulch helps to keep the soil warm, slows down the process of moisture evaporation, and also protects the plant from pests and bacteria in general, which is also worth paying attention to and not neglecting these processes and elementary care measures.

After planting is complete, clematis should be watered once every two days, but the seedling should receive a moderate amount of water - no more than three liters. If the vines are already adults, then watering should be regulated depending on their size and how much they have grown. Usually, one bush of an adult clematis takes from 7 to 10 liters, sometimes a little more if the weather is hot and dry. The duration of the flowering of clematis also depends on how much nutritious soil surrounds the plant's root system. In this regard, the site should be periodically fed, and for this, depending on the season, use different mineral and nutritional compositions. For example, in the spring, it is best to take urea or saltpeter for feeding, but in the summer, mullein tincture is perfect, which is carefully applied right under the root. Also, attention is paid to feeding in the autumn period, since at this time the plant is being prepared in frost, and it must be protected and strengthened as much as possible. Therefore, in the fall, they take more complex mineral preparations that ideally increase the immune system of plants. If the gardener plans to prune clematis, then about two to three months before its implementation, it is necessary to stop feeding, otherwise they will provoke too abundant growth of shoots that the plant does not need at all.

Of course, it is important to pay sufficient attention to the soil - it should be loosened after each watering, and mulched. All weeds are also removed as they can take away nutrients and can also become a breeding ground for pests and bacteria. If necessary, sometimes soil can be poured into the hole, and after that it is mulched. Gardeners recommend using peat or dry grass, humus or straw as mulch. In order for the plant to retain its decorative qualities and special characteristics, it is necessary to regularly prune the clematis. Pruning maintains the attractive shape of the bush or liana, and stimulates the growth of new shoots, which, in turn, give a more abundant and fresher flowering.

In the very first year after clematis was planted in open ground, the tops of the shoots should only be pinched slightly and very carefully. Thanks to the pinching, new buds are formed, which is a guarantee that the flowering will be abundant, and the growth of the clematis itself will be at its best.In the first season, it is also worth cutting off about half of all the buds that have formed. Thanks to this, next year the plant will get even stronger, and the flowering will seem twice as strong and beautiful. At the very beginning of October, clematis is prepared for the winter period, it is watered abundantly, doing the so-called moisture charging. Usually, one seedling takes at least twenty liters of water, which should be settled, thawed or rainwater and always warm. In addition, experienced gardeners recommend pruning the stems, leaving about 15 centimeters of branches above ground level. After that, the clematis is covered, it remains only to wait for the winter and frost to end. You can use agrofibre as a cover, but you can also use peat or ordinary dry foliage, which also perfectly protects clematis from too harsh and severe frosts.

Clematis is a very unusual flower that is very often used in landscape design. Low-growing bushes can be planted together with rose bushes, and you can also make hedges, beautiful living curtains. Due to the fact that vines can curl perfectly, they can be wrapped around fences, arches, used to decorate terraces, outbuildings. In order to make the design even brighter and fresher, white clematis can also be diluted with bright clematis, you can take delicate pink or blue shades that are ideally combined with a white clematis background. To make vines look spectacular, it is best to tie them to supports from the very beginning. You can also braid stones with lianas, it will look incredibly stylish and will become irreplaceable decorative elements in absolutely any design style. You can also decorate tree trunks with clematis, placing the stems in a circle, it looks very cute, and at the same time it is possible to once again emphasize the importance and beauty of this plant.

If the gardener decided to make not one, but several beds at once within the landscape, then white clematis can become an ordinary background, while the flowers themselves will look very advantageous on it. Clematis also look amazing in flowerpots or pots, they can be displayed both inside gazebos and terraces, and outside, the main thing is to take care of the plants in order to maintain their decorative characteristics and external features. In general, we can endlessly talk about the merits of clematis, and in this article we have fully emphasized them. Whether or not to choose this flower is up to the gardener himself, who wants to decorate his site and is in search of completely new varieties and types of plants.
