How to grow clematis — planting, feeding, pruning and first-year care | Ashridge

Clematis is one of the most versatile climbing plants you can grow, offering flowers from late winter through to autumn depending on the variety.

Planting clematis

Plant deeply — burying the crown 5–10cm below soil level protects against clematis wilt and encourages new shoots from below ground.

Pruning

Pruning group depends on when your clematis flowers. Group 3 — cut back hard to 30cm in late winter.
