Clmathi manchurialong lashes, especially when preparing for the winter. You can bring it to life by planting clematis of the third group of pruning on the plot. The description and photos of the varieties that we specially made a selection of and today we want to present to you will serve to reinforce the theory of the long-term beauty of these luxurious creeping vines. Characteristics of the
group The third group of clematis is one of the easiest to breed. This includes varieties characterized by a long flowering period( up to 3 months), with the majority of species later. The reason for this phenomenon is the fact that the vine is tying the buds only on a young growth. Accordingly, this imposes an imprint on the procedure for the formation of a bush: every year it is necessary to completely cut out the bush, leaving the stumps no more than 15 cm in height( one or two buds).This is enough to liana revived.
Grades of the third group have one more feature: they grow quite quickly and, if we neglect pruning, in a short time the bush will turn into a tangled tangle of ugly curved lashes. What to say about the bloom will have to forget. Thus, annually cutting the shoots that have grown during the season, one can not only renew the bush and maintain its compact forms, but also preserve the varietal qualities of flowering.
It is best to prune in the fall - then the bush, or rather its remnants, will be easier to cover and prepare for wintering.
And now we bring to your attention a description of the most popular varieties of clematis of the third group of pruning( with photo).
Large-bloomed clematis
One of the most spectacular species are hybrids, which have large inflorescences. Large flowers of rich or delicate color, simple or double, immediately catch the eye and make the bush a proud grower.
Clematis Ville de Lyon
The description of clematis Ville de Lyon should begin with the fact that he belongs to the Vititsell group. The diameter of the inflorescences reaches 16 cm, while they have a rich color and consist of 5-6 simple petals and long, up to 2 cm, stamens. Some consider it red, but most of all the color is similar to fuchsia, while the tips of the petals are darker. Interestingly, by the end of flowering purple shades begin to dominate. The bush is rather large, the length of the lashes is from 3 to 4 m. Flowering begins late, in July, but lasts until the first frost.
The variety has high winter hardiness and is resistant to most fungal diseases, but it can fade in the sun( the flowers will become faded).

Clematis Etoile Violet
A characteristic feature of this Clematis from the Vititsell group is the abundance of large flowers with a rich dark purple color that bloom in June and adorn the bush until the end of summer. White stamens are seen in the center of the inflorescence as a bright spot. Liana is subject to strong pruning, but thanks to a good growth rate it quickly gains a height of about 3 m, although it cannot please with any special density.
It is better not to let it go on a high arch - it will be too watery, but on a short ladder that can be entwined completely, it will be possible to achieve a pomp effect.

Clematis Taiga
Our gardeners got the opportunity to purchase this original Japanese variety only 2 years ago, after Taiga won third place in the trade show. And it was for that - large terry inflorescences attract attention with a multi-colored color: if the extreme petals are monophonic, purple, then the others are only at the beginning of the petal, and most of them are painted white-green at the edge, while the tips are wrapped inside.

Description and photo of clematis varieties of the third group of pruning with small buds will make sure that- not the most important thing.
Clematis tangut
One of the most fascinating types of clematis combines varieties into a separate group with a characteristic shape of inflorescences: they are small, up to a maximum of 5 cm in diameter, and resemble heads of tulips or bluebells. The color of the buds depends on the specific hybrid, but the main ones are white and yellow tones.
It is interesting that in nature the plant does not exceed 30 cm, but domesticated species grow from 3 to 6 m in height. A characteristic feature are angular stems with strong branching. They firmly encircle the support, although they do not form a dense wall - the leaves are quite rare.
Among the most popular varieties of Tangut clematis worth noting:
- Anita .The inflorescences are white, wide open, a bit like jasmine garden flowers, bloom in two waves( summer-autumn), bush height 4 m.
- Aureolin. Half-opened pale yellow bells bloom continuously from June to early autumn, bush height up to 3 m.

Clematis Tangut Love Radar
This romantic name is another hybrid representative of Tangut clematis, which is worth talking about separately. The variety will not be pleased with the large size of the inflorescences, but it will surprise them with an unusual shape: in its unopened form, the flowers look like wilted bells, which have 4 petals, slightly bent outward from the edge. When the bud is fully opened, it turns into a four-pointed star, burning with a rich yellow color, while its diameter is only 4 cm. The flowering of the Radar of Love occurs in several waves with a short break.
The variety has good winter hardiness, which allows it to be grown practically throughout the whole territory of Russia. He also feels rather well in a tub in a closed room.
Clematis pungent
A rather tall bush grows lashes up to 5 m long and branches well on a support, creating a dense wall of dense small leaves, while the width of clematis can be up to 4 m. A distinctive feature of the variety is small inflorescences in the form of four small crossespetals, painted white, with a pubescent sepal. Despite the modest size of the buds, there are a lot of them and it seems that before my eyes a huge white cloud, in addition, also fragrant - the flowers have a sweet smell of honey with a subtle almond shade. Flowering occurs in mid-summer and lasts until it ends. Strong clematis can be grown even in the northern regions, since its cold resistance is high.
The variety owes its name to a caustic smell, which is distinguished by shrub roots.
Clematis Manchurian
The variety has good frost resistance, a compact bush in the first half of summer will surprise you with an abundance of small( about 1.5 cm) white inflorescences in the form of asterisks of 4 petals with a delicate, subtle aroma.

Some gardeners often confuse Manchurian clematis with a burning one and even believe that it is one and the same plant. They really have a very similar flowering, both are cold-resistant and even belong to the same, third, group of pruning, but these are two separate varieties that can be distinguished by the following characteristics:
- The height of the bush. Burning clematis can grow to 5 m in height, while Manchu - no more than 2 m.
- Flowering period. First grade - late( blooms in July-August), and the second - early( June-July).
Clematis Princess Diana
Photo and description of Clematis Princess Diana cannot fully convey his amazing and delicate charm of flowering: small, up to 7 cm in diameter, inflorescences are shaped like a bell or a tulip with 4 petals. They are bright pink, only at the very edge one can see a light rim. Although blooming later( in the second half of summer), but abundant, it lasts until autumn, and the bells do not hang down, but rather “stick out”.The bush itself grows to a maximum of 3 m in height.
Clematis Princess Kate
Another “royal person” with abundant flowering and rather large sizes. It differs from Princess Diana by a larger( up to 4 m) bush and light colored inflorescences. In addition, the flowers are slightly smaller, maximum 6 cm in diameter, also in the form of a bell, at first half-opened, then the petals are straightened. The color of the buds is very interesting:
- inside the flower is white with a slight pinkish tinge and a dark pink center;
- outside pink-lilac petals.
Blooms from June to autumn, winters well.
Variety is also found under the name of Princess Cat and is one of the rare Texas hybrids.
Clematis Arabella
Not high, up to 2 m, the bush grows well on and without a support, covering the soil around it at the same distance with its lashes. Flowers will not be surprised with large sizes( diameter is maximum 10 cm), but they will be pleased with abundance: in summer, at the height of flowering, sometimes there are no leaves on the liana under a flower carpet of purple buds with long white stamens. In each from 4 to 5 simple petals of uniform color, but with distinct longitudinal grooves. As they fade, they turn pale and gradually turn blue. Variety blooms late in June, but it stands in the buds until October.
Clematis Avangard
The variety is relatively new, obtained in 2004 by English breeders and belongs to the Vititsell group. Differs in small( 5 cm in diameter), but very original inflorescences:
- mid bud, from small pink petals;
- on the edge of the terry "pillow" are large, red and curving petals.
The height of the shrub reaches 3 m, it grows quickly, flowering lasts from mid-summer to mid-autumn.
A characteristic feature of the avant-garde is a high winter resistance.
Clematis Ashva
Compact variety: on average, the liana rises to a height of 1.5, sometimes up to 2 m, so that it can be grown in pots. Blooms late, in June, but will please with a rich color. The inflorescences are not very large, up to 10 cm in diameter, but bright, purple, with a red stripe along the petals. There are about 6 of them in the flower, the edges are bizarrely bent, which gives a special charm. Purple-colored stamens and pinkish anthers.
Let's hope that this small selection of clematis varieties with photos will come in handy when you buy plants for the garden. And if you find plants that are already growing on the plot, now you will know how to cut them correctly.
