Pruning clematis the right way is the best method of ensuring it stays healthy and puts on a fantastic display of blooms year after year. Unfortunately, there are common clematis pruning mistakes that affect the look and productivity of the plant.
The usual pitfalls of clematis pruning include doing it at the wrong time, removing too much, or not removing enough. When you grow clematis, neglect or improper pruning may not ultimately kill the climber. However, if not trimmed a clematis can quickly outgrow its space, and get woody, and the flowering display suffers.
