Clematis General Information
Clematis are prized for their incredible flowers, most as large as your hand. "Queen of the Climbers" will train onto trellises, fences or arch over doorways. Stunning when used alone or when several colors are mixed. Grower's tip: Truest colors require full sun, as any shade will introduce purple tones. Flower color and bloom size may vary while the plant is establishing.

Clematis Plant Care
Pruning Type 3 - This group blooms later and from new growth. These should be pruned in February or March as new leaf buds begin to show low on the plant. Also remove all dead material above the buds and clean out any old or mildewed foliage at this time. Not as aggressive as Sweet Autumn. Cutting back to knee height in late winter or early spring will ensure a more lush, full plant than the previous year. If intertwining Clematis, pruning will be easier if you select varieties with the same pruning type. Want to sort by pruning type?
