 Clematis
are split into three groups according to their flowering times and the
pruning required.Group 3 Clematis flower late
in the summer on the current years growth.
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: Well established plants should be
pruned back hard or vigour and flowering performance will decline. Also,
you may find that eventually the plant flowers up in the air somewhere
and not at a sensible height if left to its own devices.
Prune in late winter or early spring when the buds
are showing signs of growth. Cut main stems back to a strong pair of
buds 6-12 inches above the ground. If any stems have been killed cut
them right out, back to ground level if necessary.
