Clematis
I have a summer flowering clematis, that I normally
cut back yo about 3ft in the spring, usually just as the lower buds are swelling/bursting. Because of the cold, I've held back, and now I've go buds/shoots about an inch long most of the way up. Some have been frost damage and shot out again. Would it be sensible to cut back now( when the weather is better) or just leave it to its own devices this year? -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |
