Pruning clematis

Question

My Hagley hybrid Clematis has finished flowering and the leaves are all turning brown. Can I prune this now or should I wait till early spring? It is just that it sits outside my back door and is not pretty to look at at the moment.

Answer 1

Hold off pruning until early spring for most types or following bloom in others. This article may be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm
