Clematis need annual pruning to keep the plants under control and produce a fantastic display of flowers each year. There are many gardeners around the world, however, who are unsure of how to prune clematis and when to cut back the plants.
This is because clematis are classified into three different pruning groups, depending on their flowering, and trimming these climbing plants at the wrong time is a pruning mistake that can potentially rob you of a year’s worth of flowers.
