Clematis Hania: variety description

Clematis Hania was bred in Poland, and appeared due to the crossing of a hybrid and the main variety. The flower is very large and velvety. Usually there are flowers of two colors, frequent combinations are red-violet with a pink border or burgundy pink with a bluish border. The stamens inside the flower have an interesting color that looks like a honey-gold hue. Clematis Khaniya blooms from early June to early September, but in mid-July the plant stops blooming for a while, giving itself a rest, and then resumes flowering again. Usually the bushes reach up to 3 meters in height. It is worth noting that Clematis Chania does not like a large amount of light, so planting should be carried out in a semi-shaded place. An excellent solution in choosing a place will be the corner of a gazebo, a building, as well as growing on a support in an appropriate place.

Choose a good seedling before planting. It is best to purchase it from a nursery or a specialty store that is dedicated to the garden and vegetable garden. It is in such institutions that seedlings are well looked after. After purchase, the seedling must be stored in a cool enough place, where the temperature is about +1 degrees. If you notice that the buds are starting to grow, you need to transfer Clematis Hania to a colder place where there is enough light. In this case, the shoots will not be elongated.

When to plant a variety?

It is only necessary to land in warm weather, so you need to wait until the temperature stabilizes. Otherwise, if you postpone planting, frosts at night will ruin the seedling and all the work will be in vain.

Place for planting clematis Hania

You must also choose a place carefully, because the growth and functioning of the flower depends on it. Also, when choosing a place, one must take into account the scale of the plant. After all, growth will continue for 11-17 years, and this is a long time, so everything must be foreseen. For planting, any side of the site is well suited, except for the southern part, since it is too hot on this side and there is a lot of light, which clematis of this variety does not tolerate well. You also need to take into account the presence of wind and draft at the landing site, they should not be. The soil in place should be very light and well loosened, since due to the long root of clematis, it is necessary to protect it from ground water by all means. A drainage system can help with this, but it is established when the seedling is planted.

The soil at the planting site should be slightly alkaline, but by no means acidic, since clematis will not grow on such soils, but will simply die.

Instructions for planting varieties of clematis Hania

After the clematis Haniya sapling has been bought and a place for planting has been chosen, you can start the process itself.

• To begin with, you need to retreat 80 centimeters from other crops, so as not to interfere with their growth in the future.
• Before planting, the roots of the seedling must be immersed in water for 25 minutes, since they must be well saturated with moisture.
• Then you need to start preparing the pit, the pit is dug out of medium size, about 70 centimeters wide and 70 centimeters deep. Then humus and compost are added to the dug soil, in equal proportions. With heavy soil, you need to make it lighter with sand, then loosen the soil well. If your soil is light, then loosening is not necessary. Then mineral fertilizing, a small amount of superphosphate and wood ash must be added to the soil.
• Then a drainage system must be installed in the pit, which can consist of broken brick, pebbles or gravel. Fertile soil is poured onto the drainage layer. Then the soil is watered and the gardener should wait until everything settles down. After all the machinations, the depth of the pit should be about 18 centimeters.
• Then you need to install the seedling in the hole and fill it with the remaining fertile soil, while tamping the soil a little. After planting, watering and mulching are carried out.

Care for clematis varieties Chania

Caring for clematis Hania is very easy, as she only needs basic care.

Watering

Clematis Chania should be watered once every 7 days, while abundantly, since the Chania variety is very fond of moisture. If the weather is hot, then watering increases and becomes more frequent, about 2 times a week. Usually, 6-10 liters of water is enough for one young bush, but an adult plant must be watered using 10-20 liters. Often, when planting this plant, gardeners install pots with small holes at the bottom. They allow water to be retained in the soil and consumed for several days. If you carried out spring mulching, then loosening after watering is not necessary, but if mulching was not carried out, then you need to loosen the soil every time after watering has been completed.

Fertilizer

Fertilization is carried out only for an adult plant, up to 5 years old clematis does not need to be fertilized, since the plant can rot and die. Top dressing should be applied at the time of abundant flower growth. Since during the period of active growth, the plant spends all its strength and it needs to be helped to restore them by applying nitrogen fertilizers. When the flowers form, you can make top dressing with potassium, and after the end of flowering, fertilize with phosphorus.

Fertilizer is applied after pruning in the summer, but for such cases, complex feeding is used. In the spring, treatment is carried out with milk of lime, which consists of chalk and dolomite flour.

Note: After planting for two years, the culture will actively form its roots, making them stronger, as well as grow in the soil. And for 3 years after planting, the first shoots will begin to appear.

Pinching

Pinching will allow you to correct the flowering process. For example, cutting off strong shoots, buds will begin to appear a little later, but flowering can last until October.

Pruning

It is imperative to trim clematis Chania, since this is a very important stage in the development of clematis. Clematis are classified into 3 pruning groups. This variety belongs to group 2. This group is characterized by the beauty of its varieties, they are all charming and have beautiful flowers.

It is believed that flowers develop best on a shoot that belongs to the previous year. After the autumn time comes, you need to cut the clematis to 90-120 centimeters.

Note: Shelter for the winter is very important and necessary for clematis.Before the shelter, it is necessary to carry out sanitary pruning, during which it is necessary to remove all weak and sluggish shoots. Short pruning with varieties from group 2 is well tolerated.

Preparing for the winter period

Preparation for the winter period consists of shelter. After the first frosts begin, it is necessary to trim the plant by a third of the height. Each vine must be rolled up and laid on the ground. Then carry out falling asleep using sawdust, dry soil, humus or peat. It will take about 8 kilograms for each plant. Such a shelter will provide protection to the plant, under such conditions the plant will survive up to -40 degrees.

Reproduction methods.

There are 3 ways to breed clematis Hania:

• Reproduction using seeds. This method is considered the most popular and is practiced more often than others. It consists of planting seeds in the spring, usually in late March or early April. Before planting, the seeds are soaked for a week, while the water should be changed twice a day. After preparing the seeds, they are placed in soil, to which peat and sand are added. Usually planting is done in pots. After the seeds have been covered, it is necessary to water and cover the soil with a film to create a greenhouse effect. The container is placed in a room where it is warm and light.
• Division. This method consists in using green and lignified cuttings. The cuttings are treated with a growth stimulant and planted. The root system begins to develop in sandy soil, also in wet peat. When planting, temperatures should be about +20 degrees.
• Using layering. This method is also very popular and is used quite often. It's very simple.
