All Clematis, care and cultivation | Group 1 Clematis | Group 2 Clematis | Group 3 Clematis - mainly September delivery
Clematis Hagley HybridClematis 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.
