In reply to Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces.

I have to chuckle. We moved to a home in OH with two beautiful Clematis on trellis’s. They were out of control at the end of summer and my daughter-in-law pulled one of them out and moved it to a corner. Landscapers came
To prune the tres and we asked them to remove the dead vines.
Lo And behold this spring the clematis Has emerged from the corner and is thriving. It just goes to show you that sometimes finicky plants survive despite the negligence.
I shall properly care for this beautiful vine this year and appreciate the beauty. I was hoping you would mention about the pruning method but I will experiment. Thanks for your wisdom. I wish I could send a picture.

In reply to Georgiann N Cain. I have a "summer love" clematis and cut mine down to 12" in the spring.

In reply to Rachelle. Should you cut them back in the fall?

Mine has been planted for 3 years. Beautiful leaves and very plentiful, but not one flower has bloomed.

In reply to Linda Cameron. I’ve had climatis for many years and every Spring I cut them down to about a foot from the ground and they always grow back with many flowers

I moved my clemitis and all the leaves fell off and dried up. It said to hard prune. Should i leave it in the ground and next April cut it back and hope it sprouts leaves? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I hope it comes back next year.

In reply to Debra Parker. Yes, you can grow them in pots. I've found they don't grow quite as large, but yes they do not mind being in pots.

Can Clematis grow as well in a pot? I really don't want to plant on or near my fence since one day I have to replace the fence and end up tearing the plant out. Your Clematis is so beautiful and vibrant, it is as close to Heaven's vibrancy.
Thank you for the helpful tips.
