Features of plants
Jacqueman's group differs from others by the prevalence vigorous and tall vines... In our latitudes, they are cut off strongly, which corresponds to the 3rd cut group. This procedure contributes to the annual formation of more and more new shoots, while the root system is developing well.
When the bush has already matured, it even needs to be thinned out, since in the center of the beam the lashes do not have enough light, so they dry out along with the leaves. The location of the plant plays an important role. So, in a sunny area, the liana does not grow as high as in partial shade, but more flowers are formed on it.
The flowering of clematis of the third pruning group is very abundant, when they are young and it is not difficult to remove faded flowers, new buds are formed in it throughout the summer. If the bush is already an adult, the removal of flowers becomes a laborious process, so this manipulation can be replaced by cutting the selective lashes in half, so that some of the buds are formed a little later. This will prolong the first flowering.
There are varieties with constant flowering, stopping only for a while, there are those that bloom a second time only in autumn, forming only rare flowers.
