Garden Clemas, oen hailed as the "Queen of the Climbers", is a beloved fixture in many UK gardens. Its enchanng flowers, ranging from delicate, star shaped blossoms to bold, dramac blooms, can transform fences, walls, and trellises into living art. But clemas, like many plants, needs pruning, and understanding the pruning requirements of your parcular clemas will depend on its pruning group. Clemas are categorized into three main pruning groups: 1, 2, and 3. These groups are determined by the plant's flowering me and the age of the flowering wood. Group 1 clemas bloom early in the year, flowering on the previous year's growth. These variees, like the alpine clemas, produce flowers in late spring and are generally the least demanding in terms of pruning. Pruning, if necessary, should be done immediately aer flowering. The goal is to remove dead or weak stems and to shape the plant, but heavy pruning is not needed. If le unpruned, these clemas can become a tangle of old wood with few flowers. Group 2 clemas flower in late spring or early summer on short shoots developing from the previous year's growth and oen have a second, less vigorous flush in late summer on the current year's growth. Examples include the popular variees like 'Nelly Moser' and 'Miss Bateman'. Pruning for Group 2 should be light, focusing on removing dead and weak stems in late winter or early spring, so <strong>Feb</strong>ruary is the perfect me. You can also lightly prune aer the first flowering to encourage a more robust second bloom. Group 3 clemas flower on the current year's growth, producing blooms from mid to late summer unl the first frost. This group includes variees like 'Jackmanii' and 'Sweet Autumn Clemas'. They require more extensive pruning, cut back almost to ground level (15-30 cm above the ground) in <strong>Feb</strong>ruary. This encourages strong new growth and a profusion of flowers at a manageable height. Why prune at all? It’s important because it rejuvenates the plant by encouraging new growth, which is essenal for flowering, parcularly in Group 2 and 3 clemas. It helps maintain the shape and size of the plant, prevenng it from becoming unruly and tangled. Regular pruning also allows for beer air circulaon through the plant, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. When pruning, always use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts. This prevents damage to the plant and reduces the risk of disease. Aer pruning, it's beneficial to apply a balanced ferlizer and mulch to provide nutrients and maintain soil moisture. With the right pruning techniques, your clemas will be a stunning feature in your garden, showcasing its floral beauty season aer season.
