Hi Gardeners,
My last research into Clematis stated that only one variety of Clematis should be cut , as all others bloom on old wood. I have 55 clients all of which have clematis, none of which get cut back, and all are doing fine.
Why the cut back ? Did I miss something? The research said only Florida variety gets cut.
Peace, Paula
