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. http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/

I have a Jackman II and a Huvi TM clematis. I did not prune them this fall. When do I prune them and how?

RE: Pruning Clematis Plants
You should prune Jackmanii, a category 3 clematis in early spring and prune hard to about 3 inches. The Huvi can be pruned in very early spring, but not as hard. (03/06/2009)
