Pruning Clematis Plants

Can I cut back my clematis now? Ever? I've done a lot of reading on them, but no one ever says anything about cutting them back. C'mon you seasoned gardeners, tell me your secrets. Thanx

Gram, this link will tell you all you need to know about pruning Clematis. There are 3 different types of Clematis and each has it's own time to prune or not prune at all. It would be helpful if you knew the name of your Clematis. Then you can determine which group it is in. Here is the link.

I cut ours back every fall when the leaves are all dry. I have done this for 10 years.
