Productivity of flowering in some Clematis L. cultivars from the collection of the Nikita Botanical Gardens

The work presents the results of introduction studies of 41 cultivars and forms of the genus Clematis L. from the collection of the Nikita Botanical Gardens - National Scientific Centre, for the period 2011–2018. In the studied cultivars, flowering productivity was evaluated, taking into account morphometric indexes of shoots and flowers that made it possible to assort them into 3 groups. The obtained results let us to recommend 15 cultivars of the first group for widespread use in the practice of landscape design in the region, since along with high flowering productivity, these cultivars have other valuable biological, decorative and economic characteristics such as: original color and shape of the flower, prolonged flowering period and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors.
