May 7, 2018A.Pruning is determined by the variety of Clematis that you have.
If your unsure, you can always prune and trim vines after blooming is completed.

49240Q.Sweet Autumn Clematis
I live in lower Michigan, my Sweet Autumn Clematis is 3 years old. I cut it back to one foot tall in March..it still shows no new growth...is it dead? It seems like it should be showing some little bit of green shoots by now.

Certified ExpertA.There is a possibility that it has died. There are certain times to prune certain clematis groups, and pruning them outside of this time frame risks their health. Can you include a photo? Maybe this can help me to see if it is dead or not. You can break off the tip of one of the branches to see if there is still life, or green inside.

It is raining again for 2nd day in a row and i dont think its goin2make it thru anymore standing water! i want to know if it will survive a move and, if so, how to go about it and tips on best place to move it!!! please help cause i really spent a lot of time just for this clematis so i dont want my time, energy, and money to be wasted! thank u!

63124Q.Clematis
My clematis was full of flowers. Then we had a hard rain and most of the petals fell. Should I cut back the spent flowers or leave them alone?

May 23, 2018A.It isn't necessary to dead head, but in this case I would pinch back the stems of the lost flowers. This will help the plant pause and then resume growing healthy foliage.
