Newbie Question - Pruning a Clematis - Thank you all
Many thanks to Paul, Emrys and Michael. On my way out with the
secateurs...... Daphne "Michael Berridge" wrote in message ... Daphne Dean wrote in message ... We planted a Comtesse de Bouchard last year and it flowered very well. The instructions say, "Prune hard in early Spring", but we don't know what that means. There are some woody stems at the bottom, and the first new This is classed as a group 3 clematis and you should prune right down in early spring, I cut my group three down to about 18 inches, but the specialist clematis nursery cut theirs down to about 6 inches. They are vigorous growers and flower on this years growth. (group 1 are ones you don't prune, and group two you prune lightly in spring). Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |
