Clematis – botanical characteristics and variation
Clematis includes a wide variety of species and cultivars, ranging from small-flowered, elegant forms to large-flowered, eye-catching varieties. The flowers can be single or double and come in shades from white and pink to blue, purple and deep red.
Variation in flowering time makes it possible to combine different clematis so that the garden has flowers over a long period.
Pruning and maintenance
Clematis pruning depends on the variety's flowering time and growth type. Some Clematis bloom on old shoots, while others bloom on new ones. Knowledge of pruning group is therefore essential to maintain flowering.
With proper pruning and regular care, clematis will develop into a lush and flowering climbing plant year after year.
