Clematis - one of the most popular plants of the genus liana.
Both the shape and the variety of sizes and colors amaze with its magnificence.
Flowers are large and very small sizes, luxurious velvety and simple, but elegant.
They are divided into 3 groups: blooming in spring from April to May, blooming in early summer, and blooming in July and later.
There are several species in height: growing less than 1 m - grassy, over 3 m - climbing, vine-growing and their types - up to 10 m. (For varieties of clematis, see here.)
It is for this reason that clematis should be planted properly, since they can live for more than one year in one place.

For clematis planting, the most favorable seasons are autumn and spring. Seedlings can take a much worse period of engraftment in the first year, if you delay the planting of a flower.
If you plant clematis in the autumn, then you can be sure that it will take root quite well. Just be aware that by the onset of winter cold the flower should be given a good root. Thus, the topic of timing becomes relevant again.
As soon as the kidneys begin to swell or have not even gone into growth, approximately from April or the beginning of May we can safely carry out the landing of clematis.
For the correct planting of the plant, it is necessary to make wide and sufficiently deep pits for planting - 60 cm each.
It is recommended to make drainage from gravel or broken brick with a thickness of 10-15 centimeters, if there is ground water near.
After the fertile top layer and fertilizers such as: 2-3 handfuls of ash, 50g superphosphate, humus from 5 to 8 kg are added to the planting pit. Add 50g of hydrated lime to acidic soil.
On the soil, which is pre-spread in the form of a mound, clematis roots must be evenly spread.
As one of the options, the mound may be from sand, and at the end of planting the root collar is also filled with sand. Due to such manipulations the rotting of the plant will be prevented.
If the vine is old, the root neck is 10-12 cm deep, if young, then the root neck needs to be deepened by about 5-11 cm.
Thus, not only new shoots will be formed, but also in summer time will serve as protection from overheating, and in winter from freezing.
When planting clematis, it is necessary to adhere to the distance between seedlings of 1-1.5 m. Immediately after the process of transplanting, the plants should be watered abundantly with water, and then mulched.

1. Portability of a transplant is excellent, which allows you to plant them on a simple bed to grow and become stronger, and after a year or two, plant them on permanent places.
2. Clematis sapling before planting is disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
3. After landing, it is imperative to put support and bind clematis (you can temporarily).
The support should be no more than 2 cm in diameter. In general, in the process of growth, the vine will need two or even three times the garter of shoots that have grown.
This is necessary to ensure that the plant does not suffer from diseases and to reduce the risk of mechanical damage.
4. There is an active growth of only one stem in large-leaved species of clematis in the first year of planting. And in that year, when the plant is planted, the top should be pinched, so the side processes begin to grow. The procedure itself nip can be done again.
5. Clematis is very fond of light, but not overheating of the root system. That is why it is very good to plant such flowers as marigolds, peonies, phloxes and others near it.
6. Since the plant-liana is at risk of overheating and overdrying of the soil, in spring, after loosening and first watering, it is necessary to humus with humus in northern places, sawdust in southern areas or peat. And in order to close the shoots at the bottom and avoid overheating, it will be enough to “hit” the well.
7. If you plan to plant the plant against the wall, then the best side will be the south-west or south side of the building. The distance for good plant growth should be at least 50 cm from the wall. In no case, water from the roof should not fall on him.
Where you should not plant a liana plant called clematis:
- in places where there are drafts;
- where deep partial shade or absolute shadow;
- in lowlands, namely in those places where the accumulation of moisture and its stagnation is likely;
- close to buildings are also not advised to plant clematis.
How to care for clematis in springtime
If you grow clematis correctly, you need to remember about frequent and abundant watering for several years after planting.
After three years, it will be enough to water several times a week for 2-3 buckets of water under a bush.
Luxurious and beautiful flowering is the result of proper watering.
To keep the moisture in the right amount, it is necessary to mulch and loosen the ground near clematis. For the mulching procedure you can use rotten sawdust, peat or humus.
During the first year of growth, the plant-vines actively develop the roots and, only about 3 shoots are added.
Therefore, in order to develop many dozen shoots from clematis and obtain a lush shrub with more than one hundred charming flowers, you need to properly and carefully take care of the plant for about 5-6 years. For this flowers, which grow in a single quantity is better to break off.
Then the flowering will be completely different and more prolonged, unlike plants without nipping and pruning.

Clematis is very sensitive to feeding. Therefore, they need fertilizer preferably once a week. For top dressing use full fertilizer from minerals - for 10 liters of water 30 gr fertilizer, with calculation on the volume of 2 sq.m. soil.
In addition to the mineral supplement, 1 cup of wood ash per one individual plant will be suitable. Mullein (manure) is considered another very good fertilizer.
This dressing is recommended to dilute one part of the fertilizer for ten parts of water.
When the cold comes it is necessary to cover the root system of the plant, but when spring comes, it is not worth hurrying with the opening of clematis.
This precaution is associated with the fact that the vine is afraid of still intermittent frosts and the sun, which shines brightly, which can lead to kidney damage.
As soon as the spring frosts leave, you can safely remove the shelter from the plant.
After feed should be done nitrogen fertilizer. One of the good options would be urea - 10 liters of water 40 grams. If the soil under clematis is acidic, then lime milk of milk in proportion to 1 square meter of soil - 10 liters of water 200 grams of hydrated lime will be the best way to irrigate.
The process of stripping the plants is best done in less sunny, better cloudy weather. It is recommended that even a little shadow be made for clematis to gradually become accustomed to sunlight.
Main points of clematis care immediately after planting:
- it is necessary to immediately apply clematis and make protection from the wind;
- water the plant abundantly, but in no case do not fill!
- regular weeding and loosening the soil;
- do not feed immediately after disembarking!
