Description of clematis Mazury

Lianas are becoming more and more common in landscaping homestead and summer cottages in Our Country, including clematis Mazuri. To understand all the advantages of the plant, you need to get to know the Mazuri variety better.

Description of clematis Mazury

Large-flowered clematis Mazuri was bred by Polish breeders. The variety is quite young, but, nevertheless, received a silver medal at the exhibition “Green is Life” in 2006 in Warsaw. The Mazuri variety has the following characteristics:

1. Bright double flowers of blue or lilac color, 13-17 cm in diameter. There are small spots of a lighter color on the petals, which makes them fragile and airy.
2. Liana reaches a height of 2 – 3 meters, while, as it grows, the culture clings to the supports with leaf petioles.
3. The plant blooms from July to September.
4. Likes well-lit, sunny places, can grow in partial shade. Doesn’t handle wind well.
5. Culture feels good in the European part of the Federation and in the south of the Far East.
6. Belongs to the third cropping group.

Clematis pruning group Mazuri

Producers classify the Mazury variety as a third type of pruning, which blooms on new shoots in summer and early autumn. In winter, all the stems of the previous year die.

The Mazury variety should produce mature stems every season. To do this, choose 2 – 3 living kidneys at a height of not more than 30 – 50 cm and remove everything else. This allows the clematis to grow new strong shoots and bloom.

In the first year of life, the vines do a special pruning. Each variety, regardless of group, should be cut about 10 cm from the ground in late winter or early spring. This is done so that the clematis acquires the habit of denser growth, with flowers at the base of the plant. The procedure may not be performed: then the flowering will not be thick, and the flowers will be located high from the ground. Don’t worry about leaving buds: Clematis releases underground shoots from nodes.

Pruning should be carried out, regardless of the climatic zone in which the Mazuri variety is grown, and even if last year’s branches did not freeze out in winter. This allows the vine to bloom more luxuriantly. Otherwise, on the old stems, poor flowering will turn out, and new shoots will not gain strength for this.

Planting and caring for clematis Mazury

Clematis large-flowered (caper) Mazuri is widely represented on the market. The mark “marque” indicates that the root system was in a moist substrate, and the plant was stored in a chilled place. Here are some helpful tips for choosing clematis varieties.

Before planting the Mazury variety, you need to choose a place where the plant will feel best and reveal its full potential. The site must meet the following requirements:

1. Good light: despite the fact that the Mazury variety can grow in partial shade, it will feel best in the sun.
2. Wind protection. When planting clematis, one must take into account the wind rose on the site.
3. Moderate humidity. It is not recommended to plant the Mazuri variety near houses along the line of water flow from the roof and next to metal fences from a profile sheet. You can not place the plant in the lowlands, flooded with water during rains or melting snow.

In central Our Country, the Mazuri variety is planted only in the spring, and in the southern regions this can be done in the fall.

Landing should be done as follows:

1. Dig a hole measuring 50x50x50 cm. The root system of clematis is superficial, so 50 cm of depth will be enough for the plant.
2. Lay a layer of drainage at the bottom to avoid root rot.
3. If the soil is clayey, the pit should be filled with humus: best of all, horse or cow humus (1 part), with the addition of river sand (2 parts).
4. The plant must be planted in a cone formed in the center of the pit.
5. Straighten the roots of the vine.
6. If the cutting prepared for planting has a lignified trunk, then the neck of the bush, where the buds are located, must be buried 10 cm into the ground.
7. If new shoots have already begun to grow, then planting should be carried out in such a way that at the end of summer the lash can be covered with a 10 cm layer of earth.
8. Clematis Mazuri shed and make sure that the soil does not dry out.
9. The earth around the plant is mulched by 15 – 25 cm.

All care in the first year of planting for clematis of the Mazuri variety will consist in timely watering and making sure that the stems of the plant stretch along the supports.

Preparing for winter:

• a bucket of humus is poured onto the roots of clematis Mazury;
• remove the vine from the supports and lay it on the formed hill;
• take measures so that the kidneys are not gnawed by mice: cover with spruce branches, or with a rag soaked in vinegar or tar;
• top covered with a layer of non-woven material.

Activities in the spring:

• when the snow melts, the vines trim according to the third type;
• level the humus poured in the fall;
• clematis Mazuri should be covered with non-woven material from the aggressive spring sun and possible frosts;
• during the growing season, when the buds begin to grow, the plant is watered 2 times with nitrogen fertilizer;
• in the future, clematis is fed with an emphasis on phosphorus and potassium.

The size of the root system of the vine greatly affects the survival, growth of the bush and the abundance of flowering.

Reproduction

To maintain the purity of the variety, clematis Mazuri is not propagated by seeds. Breeding methods:

1. Cuttings.
2. Withdrawal of the vine.
3. By dividing the bush.

All methods are applied in the spring and summer, so that clematis is well rooted.

Cuttings of clematis Mazuri

To obtain high-quality planting material of the Mazuri variety, the middle part of the shoot is chosen to the place where the flower buds begin to wake up. Each cutting should have only one pair of leaves.

Preparation:

• knife or secateurs are sharpened and disinfected;
• in order to cut the cuttings, take the middle part of the shoots;
• if working with two pairs of leaves, then the lower one should be removed;
• below, at a distance of 6 – 8 cm from the internodes, make an oblique cut – to increase the area and improve root formation;
• prepared cuttings are placed from 3 to 5 hours in a solution of sodium guamate (6 g per liter of water) or for 16 hours in a solution of Zircon, Epin, Kornevin or Heteroauxin (100 ml per liter of water).

A landing site is chosen in partial shade, or where the sun is early in the morning and after 17:00. The earth should be loose, nutritious and breathable. Clematis roots grow not only from internodes, but also from stems. Cuttings are immersed in the ground at a slight angle, to the very leaves.

A plastic bottle with a cut bottom or a transparent container is placed on top, thus forming a kind of mini-greenhouses that will help the clematis cuttings take root.

So that the root system is not damaged during transplantation, it is recommended to plant the cuttings in shipping pots or plastic cups.

Removal of clematis vines Mazuri

An easier way to propagate clematis Mazury is to divert the vine

Description of the method.

At a distance of 15 – 20 cm from the bush, they dig a small ditch and fill it with humus. As the shoot grows, the creeper is laid on the prepared soil and pinned well to it. Many gardeners prefer this particular method of propagation of clematis.

From the internodes down, roots begin to grow, and up – new shoots. As the stem becomes woody, it is sprinkled with humus. This method is used when it is necessary to close a wall or gazebo, and there is not enough planting material.

If a clematis transplant is required to another place, then in the spring the branch is separated along with a clod of earth and planted in a prepared hole.

The division of the clematis bush Mazuri

Gardeners do not practice reproduction of the Mazuri variety by dividing the bush, since the mother plant is injured. This leads to clematis diseases and poor flowering.

The division of the bush is carried out as follows:

1. Dig up the whole plant, trying to damage the root system as little as possible.
2. Wash the roots in water.
3. Untangling the roots with your hands, divide the vine into several parts.
4. Umbilical cords are cut with secateurs or scissors, connecting individual processes to each other.

Diseases and pests of the Mazuri variety

Proper agricultural technology of clematis Mazuri will prevent the defeat of the vine by various ailments. Lianas rarely get sick with viral diseases, but fungal diseases are not excluded.

The most common ones are:

• gray rot;
• fusariosis;
• brown spotting;
• rust;
• powdery mildew;
• wilting – wilt.

The most dangerous for the plant is wilting. If a defeat occurs, then the entire bush must be dug up and destroyed. The place where the Mazuri liana grew is also better to carefully process with copper sulfate and Fundazol.

Of the pests for clematis, Mazury varieties are dangerous:

• aphid;
• spider mite;
• slippery;
• snails;
• caterpillars;
• bears;
• mouse.

To combat, you can use an infusion of soap or standard insecticides.

Conclusion
