Can't answer your question but my montana has a grand total of 6 flowers
this year!

We have a Clematis Montana growing up a trellis at the bottom of the
garden and was flowering well and looked nice, but since the recent wet
weather a lot of flowers have dropped.
Is this common and can I prolong the life of the flowers ?

What is the best way to dead head them

Thanks in advance.
