The main nuance in the care of these flowers is to prepare for the winter period, because otherwise the flower is simply not surviving about the times of cold weather and will disappear on the root. There are different ways to cover Clematis, in which we are now more details.
There are a lot of nuances in this process, so you need to walk apart each:

A gardener will visually determine what shoots are worth it, and which no. On those on which there are kidneys, you do not need to touch, and the rest can be cut without boldly. These kidneys will bloom the next year, so carefully examine this flower.
- If Clematis is not blooming to DIN over a year, then the trimming of them can not be needed at all (at least elaborate). In this case, it is possible to cut only a small part of it, and everything else does not need to be touched.
- Whatever Clematis you have decided to grow, find out everything about the acquired grade. It is very important, because from your awareness will depend on how long it will please you with this flower, and how long to live on your land plot.
- There are varieties that according to standard criteria should trim a couple of times a year, but in fact are hybrids and it is impossible to cut them at all. There are many nuances with these flowers, so you need to understand them, and then start the landing and care for a certain type of these colors.
Before taking Clematis, it needs to be trimmed, and you also need to be able to do it. There are a number of rules, sticking to which you can safely hold this process and not harm the plant:
- First, the flower needs to get rid of the extra leaves (in this case it is necessary to delete it is dry). After you remove them from the flower, it is desirable to burn them, because the pests will be seized on them and if you leave them near Clematis. They can move on a flower back.
- The following are cut off the shoots that dried or sick.
- Too weak branches, too, you need to clean up so that in the winter period, the plant does not spend strength so that they are strengthened, because this process is useless and takes the maximum of useful substances.
- When pruning, as it should be made, you can move to the shelter process for the winter of this flower.
Cover Clematis
If you grow on your land plot such Clematis as Jacman. Then, after trimming over the soil, only small and very short hemps will remain, so it will be easy to cover such a flower.
In fact, in the winter, we save the flower shelter not as cold weather (they are not so scary for Clematis), as from a high level of humidity, which Clematis is simply not tolerated. The shelter, which should provide Clematis every gardener, should save the plant from:
- Snow
- Winds
- Moisture
- Other Ospalkov
- Mavel Water
- Wet roots, etc.
Observe the shelter time in this case should be accurate, because it will depend largely, whether the plant will survive and will flourish the next year.
If you grow Clematis in the garden, in which meek hemps remain after trimming, it is not necessary to cover them too difficult, a light structure is the best option (you should not bother about this) and the extract is suitable as it is impossible.
If, after trimming, there are a decent size of shooting, then just sprinkle them will not be enough. The shelter is more and more accurate as follows:
- 4 buckets of peat (in the absence of a good land) Pour around Clematis root, so that it turns out a kind of protection in centimeters 60 height.
- Run everything, and leave in this form until spring. Peat warms very well and is the optimal option in this case.
This is how simply you can cover Clematis for the winter, pre-produced it.
