Different Clematis have different ways they prefer to be pruned. Most of the large flowering hybrids are pruning class (2) which means they should be pruned to shorten the plant back to a strong pair of buds in late February or early March. Remove any dead or weak wood. Tie remaining stems on support trellis making sure not to tie too tight. Some are denoted as pruning class (3).

Pruning Class (3) which means they should be pruned to remove all the previous seasons growth down to healthy buds. Because they flower on current season's growth, prune to produce the most new growth (the lowest buds near the ground). Pruning should take place in late February or early March.
