===Pruning===
Different varieties and cultivars require varied pruning regimes from no pruning to heavy pruning annually.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://greenvalleysupply.com/blogs/green-valley-supplys-gardening-encyclopedia/clematis-varieties |title=Clematis Varieties I |work=Green Valley Supply|access-date=2018-08-22 |language=en|archive-date=2018-08-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822215709/https://greenvalleysupply.com/blogs/green-valley-supplys-gardening-encyclopedia/clematis-varieties|url-status=dead}}</ref> The pruning regime for a cultivated clematis falls into three categories:
* Vigorous species and early-flowering hybrids do not require pruning, other than to occasionally remove tangled growth (as in ''C. armandii'', ''C. montana'', and ''C. tangutica'')
* Large-flowered hybrids blooming in early summer on the previous season's growth can be pruned lightly in the [[Dormancy|dormant]] season for structure
* Late-flowering hybrids which bloom on the current season's growth can be pruned back to a pair of buds in the dormant season<ref>{{cite book |last=Chesshire |first=C. |title=Clematis (RHS practicals) |year=1999 |publisher=Dorling Kindersley |location=United Kingdom |isbn=978-0751347265}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.britishclematis.org.uk/pruning.htm |title=British Clematis Society Web Site |website=www.britishclematis.org.uk}}</ref>
