Pruning Of Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'

Although this clematis will flower if left unpruned, it will soon become bare at the base and flowers will be produced well above head-height. This is ideal when growing into a tree, but for general use hard pruning is recommended. Each February, prune all stems back to approximately 30cm (12") from ground level, cutting just above an old leaf joint. New growth will soon appear, resulting in a plant which is green from top to bottom and with flowers at a more acceptable height.
