What diseases is the small-flowered clematis stinging liana susceptible to?
First of all, the liana suffers from diseases of fungal origin. Spotting sharply reduces the decorative properties of the plant. You can often see the appearance of powdery mildew.
To combat such diseases, fungicides . The drugs have a toxic effect on the human body. When spraying vines, you should follow safety rules. Use glasses, gloves, and protective clothing. Fungicides can be purchased in specialized stores.
Copper or iron sulfate is considered an effective remedy against fungal diseases . An effective remedy for fungal diseases is foundationazole . As a rule, a weak 0.2% solution is used. The surface of the soil under the plant is sprayed with the drug. In difficult cases, the top layer of soil should be replaced. If the result is negative, it is better to get rid of clematis. Otherwise, the disease will spread throughout the site or garden.
helps protect the plant from diseases and some insects . Such plants include calendula, nasturtium, and some varieties of phlox. In addition to their protective properties, brightly colored annuals favorably set off the snow-white inflorescences.
Spider mites and some types of scale insects pose a threat to the vine. To combat them, you should spray the bush with a weak solution of ash . Treatment with a preparation made from superphosphate . Plants are often sprayed with slaked lime .
Regular inspection of the vine for foci of disease helps to stop the disease in time, get rid of insect larvae, and preserve the appearance of the plant.
Description of the variety
Since the clematis variety Comtesse de Bouchaux is considered highly decorative, it makes sense to provide a detailed description of this crop. In addition to the traditional presence of flexible shoots and dense foliage for all clematis, the hybrid is also distinguished by large inflorescences. With proper care, their diameter can reach 15 cm, and the flowering period lasts from early summer to mid-September. The color of the petals can range from pink to lilac or purple, and since they curl outward, the flower appears to have a round shape (Figure 2).
In addition, it should be borne in mind that with proper planting and care, the life of the shrub will be at least 20 years, and during this time the shoots can grow up to 2-4 meters in length.
Among other characteristic features of the variety, it is worth highlighting:
- Resistance to frost and drought: all existing varieties of clematis are divided into groups according to their ability to tolerate frost. The Comtesse de Bouchaux variety belongs to group 4, so it can easily withstand temperatures down to -35 degrees without the risk of loss of viability. In addition, the plant is highly resistant to drought, although in the hot season it needs abundant watering. Thanks to these features, the decorative vine can be grown in any climatic region.
- Resistance to diseases and pests: unlike many natural varieties, which are often affected by diseases, the hybrid Comtesse de Boucho has good health and is extremely rarely affected by pathologies characteristic of ornamental crops. Thanks to this, preventive treatments with pesticides are minimal.
- Easy to care for: due to its vitality and ability to quickly adapt to a new place, this variety of decorative vine does not require special care. All agrotechnical measures come down to traditional watering, periodic fertilizing and pruning, followed by shelter for the winter.
Figure 2. Species characteristics of the hybrid variety.
The ease of propagation is also considered an obvious advantage of the variety. You can get a new young plant by rooting cuttings or layering, as well as by dividing an existing adult bush. All these methods relate to vegetative methods of propagation. It will not be possible to grow clematis Comtesse de Bouchaux from seeds, since plants obtained in this way will not have the species characteristics of the hybrid.
What do you need to know when planting a beautiful vine?
You should not be afraid to plant such a perennial. Growing it is not difficult, you just need to take into account some features when planting:
- it is a fast-growing vine, which adds fifteen centimeters to the shoot per day
- his comfortable place is sunny, windless
- the soil should be drainage with plenty of organic matter
- the flower drinks water well, but does not like it to stagnate
- the ground must be permeable
- due to the lack of a long root system, it is better to cover it for wintering
- he has a positive attitude towards feeding
- you need to retreat 70 cm from the wall of the house or fence
- When planting, the roots should be spread out
- between several bushes a distance of one and a half meters is maintained
- lattice, pergola, trellis are installed from east to west
- If the roots are dry when purchased, it is better to lower the bush into water so that it gains enough moisture.
- the hole should be made according to the size of the bush. For a large one it should be 70x70 cm and at least 70 cm deep for good root development
- When purchasing, you should consider climate zones
If such a list does not scare you, then in the near future clematis will delight you with abundant flowering and decorate your site.
Location: where is the best place to plant clematis?
Clematis prefer a bright or slightly shaded location
. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive heating of the soil, because this can harm the plantings and disrupt normal development and growth.
When placed in an open sunny place, the soil should be shaded at the roots with annual or perennial plants. A delimiter for roots up to 30–40 cm deep is also useful. The soil needs nutritious sandy loam or loamy soil. Just without over-watering.
Attention!
In areas where groundwater is located closer than 1.5 meters, clematis should not be planted.
Clematis - what kind of plant is it?
Clematis are perennial plants that belong to the group of lianas. Thanks to the bright inflorescences and variety of species, they are very popular. With proper care, it can grow in one place for quite a long time. The flower is unpretentious, but it needs proper watering, non-acidic soil, sunlight and support, since the plant is a climbing plant. Used to decorate complex garden objects, hedges, and as a carpet.

Timing of planting seedlings, site selection
You can plant cuttings of perennial vines in open ground both in spring and autumn.
In latitudes with cold climatic conditions, planting is best done in the spring, in early May. The landing site should be windless. Clematis love neutral, well-draining soil with nutrients. The fertility of the soil can be increased with a high-quality mixture of fertilizer with phosphorus (150 g), dense peat mass (1 bucket), sand (1 bucket), compost (1 bucket).
The seedling must have one good shoot and good roots. It is installed in a hole, at the bottom of which there is already drainage, then it is filled with part of the prepared mixture and watered abundantly. When planting, you should pay attention to ensure that the root collar remains at a depth of ten centimeters. The rest of the earth is then gradually filled up.
In autumn, clematis are planted in the south; the warm and mild climate conditions of such latitudes allow this to be done in September-October. In this case, the climbing perennial is planted with vegetative buds already appearing. The planting option is spring, but the planting hole should be filled with all the soil at once. The surface layer of soil must be mulched with sawdust or fallen leaves. When spring comes, in order to make it easier for young shoots to break through, the soil is removed from the hole to the depth of a finger, and by the end of the growing season it is returned back.
Which clematis do not require special care?
Experienced gardeners recommend first taking on clematis, which do not require special attention, in order to gain experience and then grow unusual varieties.
According to breeders, the variety of clematis exceeds half a thousand. They are separated according to the pruning method.
The first group includes buds that form on the shoots of the current season. The second is the buds that appear on the shoots of the previous growing season.
Any pruning is a good incentive for large formation of stems, wide branching and an abundance of flowers.
There are three main types of clematis:
- An herbaceous perennial in which all the stems die off at the end of the growing season
- Subshrub - in this species only the top of the bush dies off, and the bottom remains for several seasons
- Shrubs are formed woody stems that winter well and do not require pruning.
Lianas are wild-growing, large- and small-flowered, climbing and bush.
The varieties used in landscape designs and in garden plots are former wild clematis. They grew in a mild climate, grew well and bloomed in small inflorescences. They have limited colors - white, half-tones of blue, yellow. Rarely, you can come across red, crimson small flowers with a diameter of up to four centimeters. Their largest collection (more than two hundred species) is located in the Crimean Botanical Garden.
Peculiarities of growing the species of clematis “stinging small-flowered”
To grow small-flowered clematis stinging in your garden, you do not need to be an experienced gardener. It is important to follow a few simple agrotechnical rules and not make a mistake in choosing the location and soil for the vine. This has been discussed in detail above.
When to plant clematis stinging
The timing of planting Clematis pungentum seedlings depends on the region. In the middle zone, it is recommended to carry out planting work in the spring. This guarantees the survival of plants. In autumn, sudden cold snaps and sub-zero temperatures may occur in these regions. In mild climates, it is permissible to shift the planting date to autumn.
Terry clematis
Many gardeners love originality, including in growing clematis. And terry varieties look quite original and interesting. But novice gardeners should know that double flowers are formed on them only in the second flowering season; in the first year, single-row flowers appear. They can be given to flower growers who love variety and showiness in their flower beds.

Clematis are plants whose cultivation will be a real pleasure for all gardeners. They save space in the flowerbed without growing in width, but will decorate a gazebo, porch, house wall, fence, due to their height. They bloom brightly, for a long time, and require virtually no care. They will decorate any garden plot.
Description of the plant
Clematis, also known as Clematis, is a wide group of climbing perennial plants, covering thousands of varieties. Due to flower appearance, vigor and requirements, not all varieties have gained popularity. About 250-300 varieties are used in widespread cultivation for various purposes:
- decorating fences;
- landscaping of gazebos, terraces;
- growing in open areas in the garden;
- use as cover crops.
Typically, varieties are derived from any of the species described below (or hybrids formed from them). It is difficult to imagine a beautiful garden without wonderful varieties of clematis. Hybrids with large flowers are especially popular, the main flowering period of which is May-June. Less known are the so-called botanical varieties. Many of them bloom at a time when the hybrids are taking a break from flower development.
Thanks to different flowering periods, you can create a composition of clematis in the garden that will allow you to enjoy their beauty from April to October. Choosing from a large number of clematis species, hybrids and varieties is undoubtedly very difficult
At the beginning, it is important to determine the size of the flowers and the flowering season.
Spring-blooming clematis are pruned in June after flowering. Summer varieties are pruned in September. Autumn varieties require pruning in the spring.
Although the varieties of clematis are very diverse, they all have the same requirements: “legs in the shade, head in the sun” and regular pruning in accordance with their belonging to a particular group.

The best clematis in the garden and country house
In nature, numerous species of clematis grow mainly in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, found in forests and steppes, meadows and river valleys, on hills, rocks and cliffs. Many of them have long been widely used as ornamental crops.
In Europe, the flower became famous in the 16th century, and in East Asia, in particular in Japan, its decorative qualities were appreciated much earlier. The first description of clematis in European literature is given in a plant catalog compiled by the English physician and botanist William Turner in 1548. In this work, the scientist presented a bright hedge of flowering clematis (C. vitalba), and already in 1569, purple clematis (C. viticella) appeared in the gardens of Britain, which was used in the first attempts to cross the crop. Subsequently, several more varieties were imported into the country from Eastern and Southern Europe, but the ancestors of modern large-flowered hybrids are the Chinese species, clematis florida, and the native of Japan, clematis spreading (C. patens). appeared in British gardens much later, almost 180 years later. The first successes in creating varieties with large flowers were achieved by the breeder from Odenburg, Isaac Anderson-Henry, whose cultivar Regina in 1855 created a real sensation among gardeners. After this, active work began on breeding hybrid forms, as a result of which more of them were created from 1860 to 1890 than in the entire history of the culture.
Then the breeders failed, the newly created hybrids began to be massively affected by the infectious disease, clematis wilt, as a result of which they ceased to be in demand, and work on creating new varieties stopped. Only 50 years later, the culture regained its popularity, and is currently one of the most common ornamental perennials for vertical gardening.
