Landing and care
"Barbara" is suitable for growing in Central Russia, including the Moscow region. The variety is undemanding to soils and light intensity, can grow near the northern wall. It tolerates frosts near Moscow quite well.
As a rule, planting is carried out in the spring, at the very beginning of the growing season or in the fall, in September. autumn planting more preferable. When planting, the plant must be deepened by 1-3 knots so that it is bushy, and does not form 1-2 shoots. Of course, only the lignified part of the shoot can be deepened: therefore, plant the best in the fall.
Traditional care - watering, a few top dressings, pruning. Formally, clematis "Barbara" belongs to the 2nd pruning group, but you can also prune it according to the rules of the third. With a strong pruning, clematis will bloom in mid-June and will bloom until autumn, with a weak pruning, it will begin to bloom in May on the shoots of last year and from the end of July on the shoots of the current year.
The biggest dream of flower growers ampelous plants, - so that their offspring will please their flowering for as long as possible, and at the same time there will be as little trouble 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 photos of the varieties, which we have specially made a selection of and today we want to present to you, will serve as reinforcement for 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 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 young growth. Accordingly, this leaves an imprint on the procedure for the formation of a bush: annually 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 pruning is neglected, the bush will soon turn into a tangled ball of ugly twisted lashes. What can we say about the fact that flowering will have to be forgotten. Thus, by annually cutting off the shoots that have grown during the season, you 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 remains, 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).
Large-flowered 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 the pride of the grower.
Clematis Ville de Lyon
The description of clematis Ville de Lyon should begin with the fact that it belongs to the Vititsella 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, while the tips of the petals are darker. Interestingly, by the end of flowering, they begin to predominate purple shades. The bush is quite 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 increased winter hardiness and is resistant to most fungal diseases, but it can burn out in the sun (the flowers will become faded).
Clematis Barbara
The variety is the result of the work of Polish breeders, it has earned popularity thanks to simple, but very large (up to 16 cm in diameter), inflorescences with an interesting color: they are deep pink, but the stamens are painted maroon.
The bush itself grows up to a maximum of 3 m, winter-hardy, late - blooms from June to September.
Clematis can be cut lightly and then flowering will be already in May, and with strong pruning, flowers will appear only in the second half of June.
Clematis Venosa Violacea
One of undemanding species clematis, grows no more than 3 m in height, winters well and rarely gets sick. Flowering occurs in the middle of summer and until October they flaunt on the bush delicate flowers. They are solitary, consist of 4 or 6 simple petals, are medium in size and have a two-tone color:
- the center of the petals is white;
- purple stripes run along the entire length at the edges on both sides.
Clematis can be grown on a support, as well as as a groundcover.
Clematis Etoile Violet
A characteristic feature of this clematis from the Vititsella group is the abundance of large flowers with a rich dark purple color, which bloom in June and adorn the bush until the end of summer. In the center of the inflorescence, white stamens are visible as a bright spot. Liana is subject to heavy pruning, but thanks to a good growth rate, it quickly gains a height of about 3 m, however, it cannot please with special density.
It is better not to let it into a high arch - it will be too watery, but on a low ladder, which it can wrap around completely, it will be possible to achieve the effect of splendor.
The variety is unpretentious, can grow in almost any soil, both on a support and as a groundcover.
Clematis Pink Fantasy
A very gentle Canadian hybrid with big flowers pink in color, with a barely noticeable more dark shade along a wide petal, while the stamens are also pink. Liana on average rises to a height of up to 3 m and blooms from mid-summer to early autumn.
The variety successfully took root even in middle lane and northern latitudes due to its high frost resistance.
Clematis Cardinal Wyshinsky
Some gardeners call him Cardinal Wisniewski, thus interpreting the Polish surname in the Russian manner. Small, up to 3 m in height, the bush will please with very large (20 cm) maroon-red inflorescences, consisting of 5-6 simple petals, slightly wavy along the edge. Red-brown stamens complement the rich coloration. Flowering lasts from summer to early autumn. Among breeders, it is deservedly recognized as the best variety in the group of red large-flowered clematis.
The species prefers semi-shady places, in the sun the brightness of the color fades and the flowers turn pale.
Clematis Hegley Hybrid
A small bush from 2 to 3 m in height grows slowly, but it will please with an abundance of buds: they are large, up to 18 cm in diameter, of a delicate light pink color, open on young branches late, in the middle of summer, and bloom until September. The stamens are colored chocolate color. The hybrid has good resistance to low temperatures.
The variety prefers partial shade - in the bright sun, the flowering time is reduced, and the color turns pale.
Clematis Taiga
Our flower growers had the opportunity to purchase this original Japanese variety only 2 years ago, after Taiga won an honorable third place at the profile exhibition. And there was a reason - large terry inflorescences attract attention with multi-colored colors: if the extreme petals are monophonic, purple, then the rest are only at the beginning of the petal, and most of the edges are painted white-green, while the tips are wrapped inside.
Clematis blooms from June to September. Liana an average of 2 m in height, with good lighting grows up to 2.5 m.
Clematis Mazowsze
Liana up to 3.5 m high branches well along the support, and from June it is decorated with very large, up to 20 cm in diameter, inflorescences. They hang on long pedicels and consist of 6 wide petals with a velvety surface, painted in a rich burgundy color. A lighter stripe is barely visible along the center of the petals, which is actually located on their reverse side. They themselves are wide, in one row, but at the tip they are smoothly rounded, ending with a small sharp tip. It is noteworthy that it is pink and white.
Mazowsze blooms late, at the end of June, but the flowers bloom one after another until September. The variety winters well and is suitable for growing in the middle lane.
Clematis Comtesse de Bouchot
This clematis is also called the Countess de Bouchot. Quite a tall variety, can reach up to 4 m in height, although it does not grow very fast. In one place it can live up to 20 years. The buds are not small, but not very large (no more than 15 cm), pink-lilac, with traced longitudinal ribs, cream-colored stamens. Flowering is long, comes in June and ends in September. The variety has good winter hardiness.
In order for the buds to retain their rich color until autumn, it is better to plant the bush in partial shade, otherwise they will burn out and become light.
Clematis Stasik
In the middle lane, a flower with an unusual name Stasik feels good - this is suitable grade for beginner gardeners. He does not require too much attention, winters well and blooms profusely, though not too early and not very large flowers. The first inflorescences bloom in early July on young branches, they are the largest, up to 11 cm in diameter, painted in dark pink with a red tint, gradually turning into purple. There are no more than 8 petals on each flower, but most often 6, they are slightly pointed and collected in the form of a star.
A characteristic feature of the variety is the presence in the middle of each petal of a lighter wide stripe or several narrow stripes, and the reverse side of the flower is paler than the front. Flowering ends in September, while the buds are already noticeably smaller.
Since the bush grows compact, up to 1.8 m in height, and its growth rate is low, it can be planted in containers with the establishment of additional support.
Small-flowered varieties of clematis
Their buds will not surprise you with their size, but abundant flowering makes you forget about it - we are talking about types of vines with an inflorescence diameter of up to 10 cm. Description and photos of clematis varieties of the third pruning group with small inflorescences will make sure that size is not the most important thing.
Clematis tangut
One of the most charming types of clematis combines varieties with a characteristic shape of inflorescences into a separate group: they are small, up to a maximum of 5 cm in diameter, and look like the heads of tulips or bells. The color of the buds depends on the particular hybrid, but the main ones are white-yellow tones.
It is interesting that in nature the plant does not exceed 30 cm, but cultivated species grow from 3 to 6 m in height. A characteristic feature is the angular stems with strong branching. They firmly wrap around the support, although they do not form a dense wall - the leaves are quite rare.
Among the most popular varieties Tangut clematis is worth noting:
- Anita. The inflorescences are white, wide open, a bit like garden jasmine flowers, bloom in two waves (summer-autumn), the height of the bush is 4 m.
- Aureolin. Half-open pale yellow bells bloom continuously from June to early autumn, the height of the bush is up to 3 m.

Clematis Tangut Love Radar
Such a romantic name is another hybrid representative of the Tangut clematis, which is worth talking about separately. The variety will not please with the large size of the inflorescences, but it will surprise them unusual shape: unopened, the flowers look like drooping bells, which have 4 petals, slightly bent outward along the edge. When the bud fully opens, it turns into a four-pointed star, burning in a rich yellow color, while its diameter is only 4 cm. Radar of Love blooms in several waves with a short break.

Distinctive feature varieties - small inflorescences in the form of crosses of four narrow petals, painted in White color, with pubescent sepals. Despite the modest size of the buds, there are a lot of them and it seems that there is a huge white cloud in front of your eyes, in addition, it is also fragrant - the flowers smell sweetly of honey with a subtle almond tint. Flowering occurs in mid-summer and lasts until its end. Burning clematis can be grown even in the northern regions, since it has a high frost resistance.

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 stars of 4 petals with a delicate, subtle aroma.
Some gardeners often confuse Manchurian clematis with stinging clematis and even believe that this is the same plant. They really have very similar flowering, both are frost-resistant and even vines belong to one, third, pruning group, but these are two separate varieties that can be distinguished by the following features:
- Bush height. Burning clematis can grow up to 5 m in height, while Manchurian - no more than 2 m.
- Flowering period. The first variety is late (blooms in July-August), and the second is early (June-July).

Flowering, although later (in the second half of summer), is plentiful, and continues until autumn, while the bells do not hang down, but seem to “stick out”. The bush itself grows up to a maximum of 3 m in height.
Clematis Princess Kate

Each has 4 to 5 simple petals of uniform color, but with clearly defined 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 variety is relatively new, obtained in 2004 by English breeders and belongs to the Vititsella group. Differs in small (5 cm in diameter), but very original inflorescences:

🌺 No. 1 clematis Jeanne d "Arc (Jeanne d" Arc)
from the top 5 easy growing clematis, the best varieties clematis
According to the duration of flowering, the best variety of clematis in my garden was the variety "Jeanne Dark". She starts her "party" one of the first, at the end of May, and ends in September.
Very beautiful and unpretentious variety with fragrant snow-white large flowers. The location of the flowers is equally important. They can be distributed in clematis almost throughout the vine (from the 3rd–4th node). Then we freeze with delight, saying that the plant is in bloom from top to bottom. This advantage is distinguished by "Jeanne d'Arc".
Clematis "Jeanne d'Arc" with white flowers, as an exception to the rule, since the most unpretentious and strong clematis purple purple have flowers. The lighter the clematis, the more capricious. Such is the witchcraft of nature, nothing can be done about it. And yet it is much more pleasant to look at a support strewn from top to bottom with white flowers than to have a green pyramid of vines.

Clematis Stasik representative of easy growing clematis, the best varieties of clematis
Very beautiful baby "Stasik" is a clematis variety for a container, the lowest variety that I had.
Of all the clematis I have, this one is just a baby, but such a hard worker. It blooms brightly, the flowers are rich purple - raspberry. When dissolving, wine-red, beet-red, I don’t even know what other epithet can convey the saturation of this color, velvety, they lighten a little over time. The middle line of the sepals is paler than the main tone. back side the flowers are much lighter than the sepals. Anthers are dark, to match the sepals. It is abundantly strewn with flowers and stands out among all the others on the site, and you just want to get closer to it.
There are a lot of flowers in my garden, but I love them for their power and strength, and most importantly because they bloom from June to September - all summer the plot is in bright colors. Clematis, in its capabilities, is probably the most convenient flower for decoration. country house: they can twist the wall of the garage, making a bright floral panel out of the wall, you can put it on the fence and get a magnificent flowering hedge, which from May will not look boring and elegant.

Top 5 Easy Growing Clematis
🌺 №3 Clematis Barbara
Clematis "Barbara" (Barbara) one of my favorite, easy growing clematis, the best varieties of clematis
Clematis Barbara I am delighted with him. So exquisite coloring. There is no bright "gypsy", but exquisitely sparkling silver-pink flowers that are impossible to forget. Definitely Barbara - she (girl) is a princess and has excellent taste. Blooms all the time for me. Any cut. If I cut it lightly, it begins to bloom in May, and after a strong pruning, it blooms continuously from June. Clematis Barbara is planted in my inferno and in the July heat it may stop blooming for a couple of weeks.
At first, I followed the advice from garden literature, where it was said that the roots of clematis cannot stand solar inferno, therefore, they say, on the south side of the bush, you need to save the "lawn". This “lawn”, as I understand it, is the first mistake for many of our gardeners, whose clematis, when planted, cannot gain strength, if you want to have a strong clematis bush, then first of all, land with an area of 1 square meter should be free.
Cover the soil, as close as possible to the lashes and protect root system clematis from overheating can be, again, those that have become the talk of the town, five-liter cropped bottles, and further behind the bottle, the soil can be mulched with mowed and dried lawn grass. Ask why such difficulties, why it is impossible to immediately mulch with grass starting from the basal neck. The fact is that the clematis liana in the heat is afraid of being left without water and it must be watered often. In hot weather and high soil moisture, clematis are most often affected by fungal diseases and when water gets on the basal neck, the likelihood of developing a dangerous disease of clematis "wilt" increases significantly, while the bottles protect the clematis basal neck from water on the whip.

The colorfulness of the creeper will be emphasized by the close-growing fireweed with its yellow roses.
