Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comHello, I have a large, pink, Clematis Montana which has been in the garden around twelve years. It is at the bottom of a slope, on clay soil, against a west facing wall. The plant is very strong but dominates the garden, I would like to prune it fairly harshly but am concerned that it will not grow back, are you able to give me any advice please?

Clematis montana can be cut back hard just after it finishes flowering- taking an overgrown one back to about 12 inches off the ground is recommended. This plant is a member of Clematis pruning group 1, so follow the pruning advice for this group:
