How to Prune
Clematis
PRUNING CLEMATIS GROUP 1
Clematis in pruning group 1 flower on last year's wood and therefore should not be
cut back down to near ground level (especially montanas, armandii,
chrysocoma and gracilifolia which can be killed by hard pruning). This
group should be lightly pruned to remove all dead and wispy growth.
Additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old
wood to reduce the bulk of the plant. Cut
each stem just above a pair of healthy buds.
The diagram below is showing that the silver coloured stems should be
pruned, leaving the brown stems in place. Pruning is best done after
flowering, but can also be done in late winter.

GardenAction provides the amateur gardener with lots of
information for free. If you would like to donate some money
to us, DON'T!
Instead, we ask that make a small
donation to a very worthwhile charity. Money contributed
up to mid July 2008 will go to CAMDA and CDPF.
You donate direct to them by supporting a GardenAction author
in his attempt to travel from England to Mongolia at his own
expense. You donate direct to the charity. Even a couple of
pounds will be greatly appreciated.
