Clematis - Group 1
- Early flowering types
|
Clematis
are split into three groups according to their flowering times and the
pruning required.Group 1 Clematis flower
early in the spring, not as early as spring bulbs, but a beautiful
and valuable addition to the spring garden.
They flower on the wood produced in the previous growing
season. As the grouping is determined by flowering time and pruning
requirements, it is made up of a number of different species and a great
many cultivars and named varieties
Pruning: If pruning is necessary (if you're
happy with the size of plant and where it's growing, then by all means
leave it until it needs it) then it should be carried out immediately
after flowering.
Cut back too-long shoots to healthy buds and remove
any dead wood only when frost danger has passed. Old congested plants
can be thinned by removing about 1 in 3 woody shoots. If total renovation
is needed they can be cut right back to the base, 6-12 inches above
the ground just after flowering - don't do this again for at least three
years though.
