If you follow the guidelines we provide below from Barry Fretwell in his book Clematis, you’ll enjoy a prolific display of flowers every year. Group A - A group of mostly early spring bloomers. Prune only if space is limited. Cut only the stems that have flowered immediately after blooms fade. Group A includes C. alpina, C. macrophylla, C. armandii, C. montana, C. chrysocoma and the hybrids associated with these species. Group B - This group includes large flowering hybrids that show their first flush of blooms prior to the middle of June. To renew this group first cut out all dead wood and weak stems. Second, cut back from the vine tips to the first plump pair of buds in February to March, depending upon the length of winter in your area. Examples of popular hybrids in this group include ‘Nelly Moser’, ‘Lasurstern’, ‘Miss Bateman’, ‘Duchess of Edinburgh’, ‘Vyvyan Pennell’, and ‘Mrs. Cholmondeley’. Group C - In this group are all of the later flowering clematis that make their main flush of blooms after mid June. They form their flower buds on the current season’s growth. In February or March cut entire vine back to less than 2-3 feet from the ground or cut back to one node above the previous year’s growth. Examples in this group are ‘C. viticella’, ‘C. rehderiana’, ‘C. flammula’, ‘C. tangutica’, ‘C. x jackmanii’, ‘Perle d’Azur’, ‘Royal Velours’, ‘Lady Betty Balfour’, and the ‘Duchess of Albany’. CLEMATIS - Large Flowered Varieties — (-30oF, USDA Zones 4-9) Grow these clematis in fertile, humus-rich, well drained soil in sun or partial shade.
