Variety traits

Clematis climbing habit

Clematis L.

The climbing habit in clematis is a qualitative growth trait that determines the plant's ability to anchor itself to supports using leaf petioles.

In the reference 22 varieties crop Clematis, where this is mentioned in the description.

In clematis cultivation, the climbing habit distinguishes varieties into climbing vines capable of self-climbing and herbaceous forms with a bush or upright growth habit. Climbing forms utilize leaf petioles as an anchoring mechanism, requiring the installation of trellises, arches, or lattices to facilitate vertical shoot development.

The lack of climbing ability in herbaceous forms requires the use of manual stem fixation methods when grown for cut flowers. The evaluation of this trait is based on the presence of a fixation mechanism and shoot length, which determines the choice of support structure and the variety's placement in a landscape design.
