Question
Clematis Pruning
I have a group C clematis which is supposed to be pruned in Feb/March. I have not pruned it yet this year & there are new green shoots blooming a couple feet up last years vines. Should I still prune it down or just forget about it this year?
Answer
I would recommended leaving the clematis alone this year, cutting back the clematis at this point may leave you with a stunted flowerless plant. Happy Gardening!
