Clematis Omoshiro is endowed with unique beautiful inflorescences. Its petals can have a pale pink color, which gradually, closer to the edge, changes color to pale lilac. In this article we will consider a photo of clematis Omoshiro, the history of this flower and the basic requirements for care.
Origin history
The name "clematis" itself comes from the ancient Greek word "vine." This is due to the fact that most types of this plant are in the form of vines. In turn, Russian flower growers gave him the name “clematis”. According to the assumptions, Omoshiro received this name clematis for impassable thickets that can be created by vines. When they grow, they cling to the branches of bushes and tree crowns, as a result of which, wading through them, you can fall and break your nose. The second version suggests that the receipt of such a name was facilitated by a special smell of dug up roots, which is not very pleasant for human smell.
Today clematis is a whole family, which includes about 265 species and more than two thousand varieties, each of which has its own differences in size, shape and color of flowers.
Among European flower growers, Omoshiro began to gain popularity around 1569. Truly widespread fame came to the plant after three hundred years. This happened thanks to the British G. Jacqueman, who compiled a complete description of clematis Omoshiro and demonstrated it at the exhibition. It was a hybrid plant with large flowers. Thirty years after the exhibition, the Clematis family totaled more than 190 species.
The flower came to Russia at the end of the 19th century. It is noteworthy that at that time he belonged to greenhouse plants that were not suitable for the climate of our country. However, over time, clematis Omoshiro could increasingly be seen on noble estates growing in open ground.
In 1896, Albert Regel in his book "Graceful Gardening and Artistic Gardens" described in detail the methods of using clematis in landscaping summer cottages. And the magazine “Progressive gardening and truck farming” in 1912 recommended decorating garden trees and walls of buildings with these plants.
Clematis Omoshiro is a very beautiful culture that can decorate a summer cottage or a courtyard of a private household for many decades and give it a unique aesthetic appearance.
Seat selection and landing
Clematis Omoshiro is a plant that loves intense lighting, so it should be planted in sunny places. In the most extreme case, you can choose a site that will receive the rays of the sun for at least 2 hours a day.
This plant is very demanding on the soil. The soil should be soft and loose. Such conditions will be ideal for the roots of the plant. To land clematis in heavy soil, you must purchase river sand. It must be filled in at the landing site in advance. To enrich the plant with the necessary nutrients, both organic and mineral-based fertilizers are used.
Transplant and care
The best time to transplant clematis Omoshiro is considered to be April. This process can be carried out in any other month, but no later than the end of August. During transplantation, it is necessary to dig a hole no more than 40 centimeters in depth and fill in river sand or pebbles. After this, the seedling of the plant is installed vertically, covered with soil and rammed. Immediately after planting, it is necessary to carry out abundant watering of clematis. In addition, intensively water the crop should be the next week. This is necessary so that clematis is rooted. Fertilize the plant at least 3-4 times a season. But it is strictly forbidden to feed after the end of the summer period.
Watering
Abundant humidity is necessary for clematis only during its disembarkation, but after rooting it is not required for it. Therefore, water the plant should be moderate. Young - 1 time per week, and in the summer dry periods - 1 time in 5 days. Adult plants need watering no more than once every ten days.
