These are the early-flowering
species which generally bloom in late April to late May. Spring blooming
clematis bloom on last year's wood from buds produced during the last
growing season. These should be pruned immediately after blooming, but only
if necessary and no later than the end of July in order to give the plant
enough time to produce new buds for next year. Start by removing
shoots that have bloomed. If you like, prune out some vines to control size or shape,
but avoid cutting far into the main woody trunks.

These are early double and
semi-double mid-season cultivars. They bloom mid June and if healthy they
will bloom again around September in a smaller show of color. These bloom on
the new growth that is produced from old buds produced on stems from the
previous season. If they are pruned to the ground, they will bloom, but will
miss the big and beautiful early flower period. Remove dead and weak stems
in February or March, leaving the best of last year’s buds. Once they finish
blooming, cut the plant back to 16” to encourage new growth for fall
flowering. |
These are the late
large-flowered cultivars and other clematis species. They flower in late
June into August. These bloom on new wood from the current season so
you don't need to maintain any old wood. They should be cut back to a living
bud at about 24" from the ground in spring just as the buds swell. If you
don't prune, the flowers will tend to be only up at the top of the plant and
the bare stems will be unattractive below. |
