Guys, I couldn’t tell you which clematis types I have and when I should be pruning them. Growing clematis doesn’t have to be complicated — if you want to look up and label your clematis group, here’s officially when they should be pruned: 1. **Group 1**: These are early-flowering varieties that bloom on old wood from the previous season. Prune them right after flowering in late spring or early summer. 2. **Group 2**: These bloom in early summer on both old and new wood. Prune lightly in late win

Once your clematis has been in the ground for three years, it is ready to be pruned. Clematis need a lot of airflow through the middle of the plant to prevent diseases. We want to prune out any dead or unhealthy, looking vines all the way down to the ground. When to prune a clematis depends on what type you have. There are three different types: spring bloomers, summer bloomers, and a hybrid that blooms in the spring and the summer. If you are unsure what type you have, don’t prune it at all and
