The following was received via email: Hi, I have a Clematis growing in my garden. It has not been taken care of by the last people who have lived in this house, so it is over grown. When and how is the best way to take care of it. I would like to cut it down so that it can regrow. Can you please give me some advise on this Thanks, Sharon
Hello Sharon, unfortunately that is not such an easy question to answer. Pruning depends on what type of clematis you have. See these links: http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles0201/clematis_pruning.asp http://www.savvygardener.com/Features/clematis_pruning.html And here are links to learrn more about clematis and that may help in determining what type you have: http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/clematis/ http://clematis.org/home.html Good luck,
