Clematis brevicaudata
It grows naturally in the south of the Far East and in Northern China along river and stream valleys, in bird cherry and willow thickets, and among bushes. Its woody liana climbs trees to a height of 5-7 m with a whip thickness of up to 1.5 cm, and has numerous stems with longitudinally peeling bark. It is decorative with beautiful leaves.
A beautifully flowering woody liana with numerous stems that form dense interweavings, up to 5-7 m high. The leaves are pinnate, with 3 or 5-7 leaflets, usually three-lobed, with a solid or serrated edge. The flowers are numerous, white, 1-2 cm in diameter, sit on long peduncles, collected in elongated racemose inflorescences. It blooms in July. Clematis prefers sunny, wind-protected places, fertile, loose, sandy loam or loamy soil. Propagated by seeds and green cuttings.
Care consists of regular and abundant watering, weeding, fertilizing. Frost-resistant.
Adult plants tolerate a drop in temperature to -23 -25 °C. Young plants are covered with spruce branches, because in particularly severe winters they can freeze to the level of snow cover, but quickly grow back in the spring.
With seed propagation, sowing is done in November, shoots appear in March-April. When sowing seeds in the spring in March-April, shoots appear in 40-60 days. Stratification for 2.5-3 months at a temperature of +5 °C contributes to the emergence of friendly shoots. At the stage of cotyledons or 1-2 pairs of true leaves, seedlings are pricked out into ridges and shaded for about a month. When the seedlings have 2-3 pairs of new leaves, the shading is removed. The soil around the clematis is loosened and mulched with a layer of up to 2-3 cm to protect the root system from overheating. It is able to overwinter in Estonia without removing the vine from the support and without pruning the above-ground part.
