How to Prune Clematis Group 2

PRUNING CLEMATIS GROUP 2
Clematis Group 2 consists all the early large-flowered hybrid clematis. Click here for a list of variety names which fall within this group.

Clematis in Group 2 should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. See the diagram below.


Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.

Message: If leaves are developing, thing are going well. It usually means the roots have developed and the cuttings should survive. Let them grow on until the roots reach the sides of the container and then either repot or plant out if they are large enough.

Message: I set a new lawn 2 years ago.
Straw coloured patches keep appearing and are quite unsightly as the lawn is very big.
I have used nematodes to no avail.
Have you any suggestions please.
