PRUNING CLEMATIS GROUP 3 Clematis in Group 3 should be hard-pruned in late
winter (mid February is a good time) by cutting all stems back to about
25cm (10in) above ground level. always ensure that each pruned stem has
at least one good pair of buds on it. See the diagram below. Name: Penny
Clematis Group 3 consists of all clematis which produce flowers from
mid-summer onwards. These clematis grow their stems and flowers during
the same season after pruning. If not pruned, the plant will quickly
become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Click
here for a list of variety names which fall within this group.
