This variety comes from Poland, which was bred by the scientist Stefan Marchinsky. It is considered a relatively new variety as it was developed at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Its name corresponds to the name of the region of Poland. But the newcomer immediately received recognition and appreciation during a major exhibition in Warsaw. The award has become well-deserved, thanks to the unpretentiousness of the flower and beauty.
This variety of clematis grows very quickly, reaching over 3 m in length. What is typical for all varieties of clematis, the plant has large flowers, reaching about 20 cm in diameter. Their shade is very bright, saturated, noticeable from afar. Velvet petals in the amount of 6 pieces look great, forming a carpet on a given structure. Contrasting large pistils and stamens in the center of the flower complement the beauty of the inflorescence.

The petals are elliptical and tapered at the edges. As the plant matures, the shape and shade of the flowers may also change slightly. But at the same time, clematis does not cease to be beautiful.
The plant blooms very luxuriantly, abundantly and brightly, if all the necessary conditions for growing clematis are met. It happens that there are so many flowers that they just fill the green leaves.
However, it is necessary to be patient here, since a young plant will not grow and bloom so actively, since all its forces will be directed to the formation of a strong, powerful root system, and to building up the green mass of the plant. To help a young plant in this difficult task, it is necessary to perform strong pruning every year.

The first flowers of the variety can be seen in mid-summer, but the flowering period will last until early or mid-autumn.

The described variety of clematis belongs to plants that do not require much attention and care, so it can be planted in any area, excluding strong shade, high groundwater levels and the presence of drafts.

Clematis Mazovshe belongs to the third pruning group. This pruning is considered the simplest, it is carried out every year in the autumn period after the end of clematis flowering and leaf fall. At this time, all shoots are cut, leaving only 20 cm from the ground. It is important that there are 2 or 3 buds on the stems. Such pruning makes it easier to cover the plant before the winter period, since the roots that go deep into the depths can feel comfortable even with very strong frosts.

In addition, clematis of the 3rd pruning group form their buds on young current shoots and are distinguished by a very rapid growth and rate of green mass build-up.Therefore, do not be afraid to cut off all the shoots that have grown during the growing season, since this will make the bush grow better and bloom especially brighter. Even if you grow the variety in warm regions where there is no severe frost, the pruning should be the same as in the harsh cold stripes. If you ignore the strong pruning of the bush, then you can lose lush flowering or it may be completely absent. Only if the plant is already old enough can a couple of long shoots be left in warm regions so that the clematis bloom earlier.

Further care throughout the season will be reduced to regular, rare, but abundant watering, and clematis must be fed. The composition of fertilizers is changed, alternating between organic and mineral mixtures. If the summer is rainy and there is a very large amount of rainfall, it is necessary to stop watering altogether.

Like any liana, Clematis Mazovshe needs high-quality supporting structures. It is necessary to tie up clematis at the very beginning of growth, choosing the strongest stems. Further, having taken the right direction, the flower itself will cling to the support offered to it.
