mel77 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi, I have several well established clemaits in my garden and i know several varieties need cutting back but i don't know which ones of mine need cutting and which need leaving. When do i cut the ones that need doing back? I have: A large headed pink clematis A large headed deep purple clematis A small headed deep purple clematis Thank you in advance xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torin8 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I think the main pointer is when do they flower - can you remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torin8 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Ok - so when do they flower and what size are the flowers. If they are spring flowering then don't cut them now. If you can find me more info on when they flower and what size the flowers are (2in or 6in?) then might be able to help more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torin8 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Large summer flowering Clematis should be cut back now. Smaller spring ones don't cut back until they have flowered - otherwise you'll lose this year's flowers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
