Pruning of the above two types of clematis:
1. Pruning after flowering
When the flowers are about to wilt, prune 2-3 nodes below the flowers. After pruning, you can see the second flowering in 40-50 days, but this is greatly related to the strength of the plant and whether the fertilizer is applied. Weaker ones basically only bloom once a season. In addition, to renew the branches, pruning should be done every 2-4 years, starting from the ground surface, about 40-50cm from the flowers after flowering. This can not only rejuvenate the plant but also adjust the plant shape.
2. Pruning in early spring
Leave the branches that have germinated. Withered branches and withered branches that have just germinated but are in poor condition should be pruned lightly. If heavy pruning is done at this time, only the branches with strong growth are left, and the flowering condition may be poor or delayed.
(三) Jackmanii Group
Jackmanii superba (超级杰克), Consort (伙伴), Prince Phillip (菲利普王子), Jackmanii (杰克曼二世), Gipsy Queen (吉普赛王后), Hagley Hybrid (如梦)
1. Pruning after flowering
After flowering, leave 2-3 nodes of the flowering branches (starting from the ground surface) for strong pruning, and you can see the second flowering in 40-50 days. After the second flowering, leave 1-2 nodes for strong pruning to enjoy the flowers until the frost. This group has the characteristic of flowering in all seasons.
2. Pruning in early spring
Strong pruning should be done after the complete germination of the buds from the ground.
(四) Florida Group
Vienetta (新幻紫), Pistachio (开心果), Clematis florida, Cassis (卡西斯), Fond Memories (美好回忆), Peppermint (薄荷), Sieboldii (幻紫), flore-pleno/Alba Plena (绿玉)
1. Pruning after flowering
After flowering, prune lightly at 2-3 nodes below the flowers. After pruning, you can see the second flowering in 40-50 days. If it is too flourishing, strong pruning should be done every 2-3 years, starting from the ground surface, about 40-50cm from the flowers after flowering, so that the branches can be renewed and the whole plant can be rejuvenated.
2. Pruning in early spring
Basically, it is not necessary. However, withered branches should be cut off, and branches without flower buds should be pruned lightly. If heavy pruning is done at this time, it will affect the flowering condition or delay the flowering.
(五) Atragene Group
Albert (艾伯特), Albina Plen (白色高压), Pamela Jackman (帕梅拉杰克曼), Ballet Skirt (芭蕾舞裙), Blue Bird (蓝鸟), Debbie Fischer (黛比费舍)
1. Pruning after flowering
After flowering, prune lightly at 2-3 nodes below the flowers. After pruning, you can see the second flowering in 60-80 days. If there are branches without flowers, prune lightly at 2 nodes, and do not prune the new branches heavily.
2. Pruning in early spring
Basically, it is not necessary, but withered branches should be cut off. If there are branches without flower buds, prune lightly, and do not prune heavily.
(六) Montana Group

1. Pruning after flowering
After flowering, even if pruning is done within the year, it will not flower again. After planting for a few years, if it becomes too lush, pruning the whole plant by about 20% after flowering can adjust the tree shape, which is very helpful for maintaining the balance of moisture between the roots and the above-ground part.
2. Pruning in early spring
Basically, it is not necessary. Just prune the branches without flower buds lightly and cut off the withered branches, and do not prune heavily.
(七) Viticella Group
Abundance (丰富), Alba Luxurians (小白鸽), Blue Belle (蓝色美女), Black Prince (黑太子), Etoile Rose (玫瑰之星), Littie Nell (小内尔), White Magic (白色魔法), Rubra (可觅), Royal Velours (皇家丝绒)
1. Pruning after flowering
After flowering, leave 2 nodes of the flowering branches for strong pruning. After pruning, you can see the second flowering in 40-50 days. After the second flowering, leave 1-2 nodes for strong pruning to see the flowers before frost. This group has the characteristic of flowering in all seasons.
2. Pruning in early spring
Strong pruning should be done after the complete germination of the buds.

Pruning of the above two types:
1. Pruning after flowering
As the flowers bloom to their peak, strong pruning should be done, leaving 3 nodes from the ground surface. After pruning, you can see the second flowering in 50-60 days. After that, another strong pruning during the summer can make the flowers bloom until frost.
2. Pruning in early spring
In winter, the upper part of Texensis is almost aging, so strong pruning should be done after the full and strong buds grow from the second to third nodes at the bottom.
(十) Orientalis, Tangutica Group (the following will not be translated, it is better to read the original text than to see the four不像)

Strong pruning should be done after the full and strong buds grow on the ground.
(十一) Integrifolia Group
1. Pruning after flowering
For the first flowering, after the top flowers bloom, cut off the flowers before they wilt, so that the adjacent buds can receive nutrients and bloom. You can also leave 2-3 nodes from the ground surface for strong pruning to enjoy as cut flowers. In this way, many flowers will bloom from each node. Although the height will be reduced after pruning, it will start to bloom after 30 days, and you can see several flowers until early October.
2. Pruning in early spring
After winter, the above-ground part is almost withered. Strong pruning should be done by leaving 1-2 nodes. Also, if there are too many branches, it is easy to have branches without flowers. Choose the thin branches and cut them off from the ground to control the number of branches.
(十二) Heracleifolia Group
1. Pruning after flowering
Generally, even if pruning is done after flowering, it will not bloom again within the year.
2. Pruning in early spring
Be careful of the new buds. Cut off the withered branches and prune the germinated branches lightly.
(十三) Connata Group, Flammula Group
1. Pruning after flowering
Flowering once a season, if pruned, it will not bloom again. If there are withered branches, cut them off or prune lightly to adjust the plant shape.
2. Pruning in early spring
Deciduous species, strong pruning should be done after the new buds on the ground are full; evergreen species, cut off the withered branches, and prune the branches with full new buds lightly.
(十四) Vitalba Group
1. Pruning after flowering
Even if pruning is done after flowering, it will not bloom again within the year, and withered branches should be cut off.
2. Pruning in early spring
Strong pruning should be done after the germination on the ground is full.
(十五) Cirrhosa Group
1. Pruning after flowering (winter flowering, early spring after flowering)
Many flowers bloom from each node. It blooms slowly in winter, and generally, only the flowers need to be removed. If the branches and leaves are too lush after flowering, weak pruning for tree shaping should be done.
2. Pruning before autumn (dormancy after shedding leaves in summer, germination starts in autumn)
After shedding leaves in summer and entering dormancy, the buds start to germinate from each node when the weather cools down. Leave the branches with full flower buds and prune lightly, cut off the withered branches, and do strong pruning for the branches with poor new buds.
(十六) Oceania Group, Babaeanthera Group
1. Pruning after flowering
Generally, even if pruning is done after flowering, it will not bloom again within the year. Cut off the withered branches.
2. Pruning in early spring
Weak pruning should be done for branches with full flower buds, and strong pruning should be done for branches with poor germination. Cut off the withered branches.
