Q.Clematis

Zone 7A | peteg added on November 29, 2013 | Answered

I have clematis in a container on my balcony, first year, and it’s on a trellis. It did great all spring and summer. Should I cut it back when it dies (it’s halfway dead now), or just leave it and let next spring tell me what to do with it? Thanks!
