The biggest dream of flower growers ampelous plants, - so that their offspring delight with their flowering as long as possible, and at the same time there was as little hassle as possible with long lashes, especially in preparation for wintering. You can bring it to life by planting clematis of the third pruning group on the site. The description and photo of the varieties, a selection of which we have specially made and today we want to present to you, will serve as a confirmation of the theory about the long-term beauty of these luxurious creeping vines.
Special features of the group
The third group of clematis is one of the easiest to breed. This includes varieties that have a long flowering period (up to 3 months), while in most species it is later. The reason for this phenomenon is the fact that the vine sets buds only on a young growth. Accordingly, this leaves an imprint on the procedure for forming a bush: every year it is necessary to completely cut out the bush, leaving stumps no more than 15 cm in height (one or two buds). This is enough for the vine to revive.
Varieties of the third group have one more feature: they grow rather quickly and if you neglect pruning, soon the bush will turn into a tangled ball of ugly twisted lashes. What can I say about the fact that you will have to forget about flowering. Thus, annually cutting off the shoots that have grown over the season, you can not only update the bush and maintain its compact forms, but also preserve the varietal qualities of flowering.
Pruning is best done in autumn - 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 pruning group (with photo).

Clematis Taiga
Our florists got the opportunity to purchase this original Japanese variety only 2 years ago, after Taiga won the honorable third place at a specialized exhibition.

They really have a very similar flowering, both are frost-resistant and even belong to the vines of one, third, pruning group, but these are two separate varieties, which can be distinguished by the following characteristics:
- The height of the bush. Burning clematis can grow up to 5 m in height, while Manchu clematis is no more than 2 m.

Each has 4 to 5 simple petals of a uniform color, but with pronounced longitudinal grooves. As they fade, they turn pale and gradually turn blue. The variety blooms late, in June, but stands in buds until October.
Clematis Vanguard

The “Violet Elizabeth” pruning group is the second: clematis is pruned at a height of about 60 ... 80 cm above a pair of strong buds. Wintering shoots must be carefully covered, but so that they were dry. In the spring, they must be removed as soon as the threat of severe night frosts has passed, and carefully tied to the supports. Pruning in the third group is possible, but in this case clematis will bloom only once at the end of summer and rather weakly.
