The Clematis genus includes nine species, all part of the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. Clematis varieties have been growing all over the world since 1862. Japanese and Chinese varieties have been popular garden choices. These are the most common types of clematis. The most commonly found varieties are: Jackmanii, Ginkgo Biloba, and Nikko.
Clematis are tolerant of dry, but prefer cool, shaded locations. Clematis plants should be placed against a wall, or in close proximity to a wall. This will ensure that they receive little rain. This will encourage more flowering and keep the roots moist. Clematis plants that are planted out in the sun will require more watering. You should deadhead your Clematis after the first flush.
Clematis plants are not as difficult to plant as you might imagine. Most species don't require traditional planting, but they do need support to keep their climbing habit going. Vining clematis, like Stand by Me, won't grow without some type of support. The leaves wrap around supports of approximately half an inch in diameter. These vines will need thinner supports in order to be planted near walls, arbors and lamp posts.
Clematis, despite their stunning beauty, is very susceptible to being attacked by rabbits. Their roots like cool and moist conditions. The base of your plant should have some protection to protect it from being gnawed. Rabbits can cause serious damage to your plants if you have a garden that is covered with chicken wire. To keep pests away from your clumps, be sure to take them out and put them in plastic bags.
Fungal wilt can also affect the Clematis plants. This can lead to serious injury to the plant. The first step in removing the infected parts is to clean the entire flower. If you don't know which species of wilt you have, you can check it by removing infected buds or stems. Once you're certain you are infected, you can start to treat the plant.
The clematis has a unique root system, so it needs to be kept healthy. Your clematis needs to be pruned early in spring. The clematis' leaves should not turn brown and be in good health. In order to have a beautiful garden, you must select the clematis that have a good shape. Here are some tips to help you choose the best clovers.
A clematis flower should be planted in fertile and well-drained soil. This type grows best in the sun and must be protected from winter. Clematis flowers need to be cut back on a daily basis after they bloom. Pruning is vital to ensure that the plants remain healthy and in tip-top shape. When the stems are browning and the flowers start to form, it is time to prune.

How To
Organic fertilizers for your garden
Organic fertilizers can be made from natural substances, such as compost, manure and seaweed extract. Organic fertilizers are made from non-synthetic materials. Synthetic fertilizers are chemical compounds used in industrial processes. They are often used in agriculture since they provide nutrients to plants efficiently and quickly, without the need of complicated preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose a risk to the environment and our health. They also require large amounts energy and water to make. Moreover, many synthetic fertilizers pollute groundwater and surface waters due to runoff. This pollution is both harmful to wildlife as well as humans.
There are many kinds of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is produced when livestock eat nitrogen-rich foods (a plant nutrient). It contains bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste into simple compounds that plants can absorb easily.
* Compost is a mixture of vegetable scraps and grass clippings, animal manure, and decaying leaves. It is rich with nitrogen, phosphorus. potassium, calcium. magnesium. sulfur. iron. copper. manganese. molybdenum. chlorine. and carbon. It is highly porous so it can retain moisture well and release nutrients slowly.
* Fish Emulsion: A liquid product derived primarily from fish oil. It dissolves fats and oils in a similar way to soap. It contains phosphorous, nitrogen, and trace elements.
* Seaweed Oil - A concentrated mixture of minerals taken from kelp, red and brown algae, as well as green algae. It provides a source of vitamins A and C, iodine, and iron.
* Guano - Excreta from amphibians and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, sulfur, chloride and carbon.
* Blood Meal - the remains of slaughtered animals. It is rich in protein which is useful for feeding birds and other animals. It also has trace minerals such as phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients.
For organic fertilizer mix equal amounts of manure, compost and/or fishemulsion. Mix well. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for the other. You can mix one part of the fish emulsion with two portions of compost if you don't have enough.
Apply the fertilizer to the soil by using a shovel and tiller. You should spread about one quarter cup of the fertilizer per square foot. You will need to add more fertilizer every two weeks until you see signs of new growth.
