How to prune clematis?

Pruning in late winter and early spring: For type one, just remove the dead leaves; for type two, prune from the node with no plump buds; for type three varieties (hard pruning), the integrifolia group is hard pruned close to the ground, and for the late-flowering large-flowered group it is recommended to leave 3-7 nodes of branches when pruning.

Post-bloom pruning: Generally, after post-bloom pruning, a second flush will bloom in 40-60 days. For varieties pruned by the type one method, just cut off the spent flowers and excess branches.

For other varieties, it is recommended to only prune the spent flowers after blooming. Around the end of July, cut off the nodes that have already bloomed, so that a concentrated autumn bloom can occur around October.
