The name of clematis comes from the word ""klema"", in Greece so called any climber. In the nature about 300 of its types grow. It both lianas, and grassy perennials, and semi-bushes. In our country the clematises have appeared only in the 19th century and were grown up only in greenhouses. Now many steady grades which perfectly grow are removed and magnificently blossom even in Siberia.
Clematis — quite choosy plant therefore it is necessary to choose correctly for it the place on the site. The best — from the West or South side of buildings which walls will protect from strong winds. It is also necessary to consider that the lower part of lianas has to be in shadow, and top a lot of sun is necessary.
Plants have at distance not less than 0.5 m from walls. From other garden plants not less than 1.5 m have to separate clematis. At disembarkation in a row leave at least 60-70 cm between lianas.
After the choice of the place for landing, prepare landing hole. It is the best of all to make it in advance, in the fall. Dig out quite big hole about 70х70 cm in size. That at roots water did not stand, make drainage. Fill on hole bottom beaten bricks, crushed stone or haydite layer of 15 cm.
Make nutritious substrate. For this purpose mix the dug-out earth with well rerotting compost or humus. Add peat, 200 g of complex mineral fertilizer and as much superphosphate. Very much the plant praises on entering into soil of wood ashes. Carefully mix all these ingredients and fill up with them the prepared hole. The best time for jumping of saplings of clematis — the beginning and the middle of May. The earth by the time of disembarkation has to get warm well, and kidneys on sapling not to start in growth yet. Do not detain with landing as the clematis begins to vegetirovat early enough and at later landing the plant will take root worse and will not gain enough strength for wintering. Take out part of soil from the place prepared since fall for landing. At the bottom make the small hill. Tear off the lower leaves on clematis. Put sapling on hillock. Straighten its roots. It is abundant water, and then fill up remained to pochvosmesye and slightly condense substrate around plant. Pay attention that when landing it is necessary to deepen root neck on 10-15 cm, at the same time the lower kidneys also have to appear underground at depth of 8-10 cm. It is considered that the sapling is more senior, the more kidneys need to be buried. For example, at two-year clematises it is possible to bury 2 small knots. It will contribute to the development of powerful bush and will allow liana to increase many escapes. Very effective reception when landing - to fill up clematis neck with clean sand that will protect its root system from rotting. In the first year after landing the clematis actively increases root system therefore let's not to allow plant blossom, tear off all its buds.
