Clematis

The main characters of our site are Clematis.
They already meet at the entrance - the arches are broken by Lianami form a blooming "corridor" leading to the magic garden. And immediately attract the look dazzling bright garlands of Clematis hanging cascades from supports. Picturesque blooming "pillows" rose directly on the lawn, the "basket" dries in the colors of fantastic paints. Walls, the fence literally disappear under clematis "bedspreads".
Now I have about 300 different varieties of these plants in the garden. One of the most huge collections of Clematis collected in Russia was literally in five years.
Before proceeding with the landing in a new place, Koshika spicked out the tracks, future landing pits, established capital supports, which later served as the basis of the entire system of vertical landscaping.
I will definitely cook a boarding point of 60x60x70 cm in size, removing the soil from it and replacing the fertile mixture of peat (1 bucket), humid and compost (2 buckets), sand (1 bucket), garden land (2 buckets). I add mineral fertilizers (100-150 g), ash (2-3 cent. L.) And dolomite flour (150-200 g).
Initially, I put drainage - a layer of at least 15-20 cm gravel, broken bricks, rubbanks, large sand with pebbles or foam, broken by large slices. It will protect the roots from shocking in the spring during the melting of snow and summer with heavy rains.
Clematis grows in one place without a transplantation of 15-20 years. Each year increases a large vegetative mass.
Early spring feeder mainly nitrogen fertilizers; In the bootonization phase - full mineral or infusion of a cowboy, after a bunch of potash-phosphoric fertilizers at the same time as shelter for the winter.
To stick to the ground next to the plant a couple of stakes are not enough, the support must withstand its weight and resist the streams of the wind. Even the stump or long-dead tree can be turned with the help of Liana into the work of art. And there are supports in the form of a butterfly, swan and peacock, along which the lyrics are wound, covered with flowers of fantastic paints. I do even trees from Clematis.
On a note:
Loving blooming calla, the desire arises to settle these beauties in its garden. But often flowerfish comprehends disappointment, most often due to the fact that they do not bloom. How to choose a selection of landing material?
It is interesting:
Think ourselves if real Bonsai., grown and formed decades, cost less than one thousand rubles? Of course not. Even the plant, h "That is sold in Moscow as bonsai, worth up to three thousand rubles - this is also a good imitation under the bonsai. For fake, these plants can not be called. The most simple real bonsai is estimated over twenty thousand rubles. Sale in a specialized store.

I like Clematis. This is beautifully blooming lyans that can decorate any country structure, a lawn or a flower garden. But it is also a fairly frost-resistant and uncomplicated plant.
